Tiny Little Tears
7 March, 2003
Author: ShyHeart
When you were born, I couldn’t wait,
to take you in my arms. Then, they let me hold you
and lightening struck my heart
I looked at you and you looked at me,
A strong man cried that day.
To my surprise, I thought I saw, tiny, little tears,
coming from your baby eyes, as I held you in my arms
We took you home and you grew so fast
And every night, I thanked the lord
I knew that I, had been blessed.
Each night, when you would go to sleep,
You’d rest your head on Daddy’s heart
and I was never far away
Not even to this day
Then one day, I had to leave and once again,
Tiny, little tears, rolled down, my babies face
Someone else had come along,
and I couldn’t take you with me
but, he never took my place.
Your mom and I, well, things just changed
and no, you were not to blame
Your older now, and still ask why,
Why did Daddy, go away
I have no answer for you dear
But, this, I can say, the lightning
That I felt that day, When I held you in my arms,
baby, baby, it has never, never, gone away
And when you go to sleep tonight
You can still, rest your head
Upon your daddy’s heart.
Love, never leaves the heart, but sometimes,
the heart, leaves love. Your older now, and I understand
that in your little heart, still you ask, daddy,
please, tell me why, why did you go away.
Darlin, you have many years, far ahead of you
And I pray to the God who gave me, you, your baby
Never cries,
tiny, little, tears.

Now he lives across the contry and he still isnt apart of my life. I cant let him be apart of it because when i needed him he wasent there. And i still dont have a daddy. I love this poem! |
| barb (66.46.230.5) -- Friday, April 11 2003, 02:34 am very touching and nice. If you dont want her to have anymore tears keep her in your life. What hurts is being left to wonder why.If she knows you still care and love her than she'll be satisfied even if you and her mom aren't together. Very well put Marvin. |

Barb, excellent advice and she knows and has always known. The poem was for those who I know are still out there and still ask why. Thank You Both MartinV |
