Once upon a Teardrop- a poem

Once upon a teardrop

Fell slowly down my face,

Carrying my heartache

As delicate as lace.

An angel touched my cheek and asked,

“For why are you in pain?”

“Because I miss the warmth of sun,

And only feel the rain.”

The angel looked at me and said,

“And yet the sun does shine.

For feeling rain is natural,

And part of life’s design.”

“But when it rains, you must be sure

To never close your eyes.

For it is then that you will miss—

The beauty of sunrise.”
