The Tear

She looked at him,
so old and frail
A tear fell
from her eye
and left a little trail.
He became older
and grew very weak.
Her heart was breaking
she couldnt bear to speak
Together since they were young at heart
New to love
on a fresh start
"yes" turned into love
Love turned into years
But now she realizes all of her fears
Her whole life was spent with only he
She knew not how to go on
if she lost his love to thee
But reality so close now
what could she have to say?
She knealt down close and whispered:
"Ill still love you anyway.
Ill still wake up in the morning
and make breakfast for two
I know you wont be here
but Ill make it just as I always do."
The time had come
for him to pass
her heart had broken
because she knew it'd be the last
The last time she could touch him
and feel his love so near
Her eyes filled up
and dribbled another tear
But when her tear dropped upon his hand
she suddenly stopped her cry
Something told her it was alright
it was his time to die
But not to weep, for his love would always be
so she went on living
loving him eternally. :-)
