    Poem Commentary

    Written when my Mom passed on.

    The Tear of Love



    AS I LEANED OVER TO KISS HER GOODBYE,
    A TEAR RAN DOWN HER CHEEK.
    SHE HADN’T RESPONDED TO ANY OF US.
    SHE’D BEEN IN A COMA ALL WEEK.
    I COULDN’T LEAVE AS I HAD PLANNED,
    I KNEW I HAD TO STAY.
    I KNEW IT WOULDN’T BE TOO LONG,
    BEFORE SHE’D GO AWAY.
    I STAYED THERE BY HER BEDSIDE,
    AND SOFTLY SANG SOME TUNES,
    (SOME HYMNS THAT WERE HER FAVORITES),
    FOR I KNEW SHE’D LEAVE ME SOON.
    SHE WOULD LEAVE TO BE WITH GOD
    IN THE WORLD THAT LIES BEYOND.
    ‘TWAS ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES MORE
    UNTIL HER LIFE WAS GONE.
    I KNOW THAT SHE IS HAPPY
    IN THAT WORLD SOMEWHERE ABOVE,
    AND I THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME
    THAT PRECIOUS TEAR OF LOVE.
