When Tears Poem by David Boyce

When tears

When the tears form on your eyelids
And start to run down your face
The hurt and sadness surrounds you
As your loved ones in another place

They have passed from this world of sorrow
To a place of peace and calm
But the hurt is so strong
Cos you can't hold them in your arms.

You think of the ones you love
And the ones you've lost
And the thought of getting them back
No matter what the cost.

Life sometimes feels very cruel
Because they've taken the one you love
But they will never be far away
As they watch over you from above.
