    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.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
