A million and one tears

A Million and One Tear:
If I could count the tears I cried,
It would be a million and one;
I never really thought,
I would have to say good bye so soon and now I am so numb.

Some say, "life goes on",
But how can that be?
I am so numb now;
Because you were so much a part of me.

Everywhere I look,
The memories of you are there;
I long to see your face again...Maybe then,
It wouldn't be so hard to bear.

Time is suppose to heal all wounds...
But what is time?
Just a slow ticking of the clock...
That never seems to end.
Does a broken heart ever really mend?

You gave us the most wonderful gift of all,
You gave us all your love,
You were always there for us anytime we called!

The most precious, sweetest mother,
With a heart of gold;
What a great treasure you were...
I wish for the days of old.

I hold your dear face in front of me,
Like a mirror so I can see your smile;
I hold your love in my heart to cherish,
You were with us for 47 years but it only seems like a short while.

My comfort is, I know you are in heaven,
With the Lord and all our loved ones,
Shouting on the streets of gold,
With your new feet, for Jesus healed you
from the top of your head down to your feet,
Therefore made you whole!

Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eye; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain, for the former things have passed away!
