Today a tear came to my eye,
Just one little tear, my want to cry.
It glittered like crystal as it grew in form,
A raindrop of emotion in a lifetime of storm.
What cost a tear,
Was price too dear?
Today a tear came to my eye,
A single reminder of things gone by.
Abundance of love, I once knew,
Shared of myself with only so few.
What cost a tear,
If liberate the self from what I did fear?
Today a tear came to my eye,
A memory I’ll keep until I die.
It spoke of a future built on the past,
A monument of tolerance – designed to last.
With bricks of forgiveness, and mortar of love,
It will soar to the heavens highest above.
All for the cost of a tear.
