As My Tear Softly Falls

It is very difficult for me to find the words to express what is in my heart right now.  You were always there for me, protecting me against the harsh realities, yet quietly teaching me to be strong.  I hear your words spinning around in my head, telling me that worry will change nothing and that crying will only get your face wet.  All the while, doing or saying anything to bring a smile to my face.  If a tear fell, your voice would soften and that tough outer shell of yours would melt when you hugged me and told me that everything would be alright.  Thank you Dad - This one is for you.

Forever and Always, your loving daughter, Susan

As My Tear Softly Falls

And he puts his boat in the water for the last time

A tear will fall for the last time

I wipe the tears from my face with your old shirt for the last time

I cry about the last time I said goodbye to you

 

More than oceans separate us

More than continents themselves

But in my heart you will remain

Along with everything you taught me

 

Memories seep from my veins

Vivid pictures of you lay softly in the back of my mind

But you now rest in the arms of the angels

Everyday I wish you were here to hold me in your arms

And comfort me through every obstacle in life

And such a thought brings me weeping on my knees

 

And every day I picture you

I remember you

And every day I struggle with the reality the you're gone

And with that struggle I make it through another da

 

Everything happens for a reason

Yours was to build me up

And no one can ever tear me down

You taugt me all you could in your time with me

And now my only job is to remember and never forget

 

Rain is nothing but tears to me

Tears from a man who wasn't good at sharng his emotion

Although going on without you upsets me

Everything reminds me

I'm not afraid to cry

I pretend to be ok everyday

And it's always hard to deal with the pain of losing you

And force that smile when it just won't come.

 

The wake comes off the bow

The anchor is reeled in

 

Another tear softly falls
