Tear drops fall

Craving : Caviar on little crackers

Tear drops fall,
Hidden from view,
Seen by none,
Heard by less then very few.

Each shining tear,
Conforms to gravity.
To an audience of one,
Tells its story.

Smiles and laughter,
An ever present facade,
Never will they see,
The dew drops within the heart.

Only the Father knows,
Why each tear falls,
Seen by no man,
No, none at all.

Deep inside,
An aching pain,
The heart cries,
Oh what a strain.

Yet of each tear,
There is no regret,
Each one treasured,
No matter how sad.

For each is born of a friend,
Who for that short period in time,
Came, reached out, touched,
Enough to inspire this rhyme.
