Your Tears Touch My Heart
 


 
Beautiful Daughter,
from the day you were born,
you have struggled
to make it in this world,
and your tears
have always
touched my heart.

I held you to my breast,
prayed you'd latch on,
watched you struggle
to find the love
that would sustain you....
and your tears again
touched my heart.

We managed to get through
the eating difficulties,
you and I, and it was
time to learn to walk
on your own....
and you'd crawl and reach up
to me....
and your tears touched my heart!

Elementary school came
rolling up on us fast....
you were bright and smart
and knew so much....
but that big yellow bus
was taking you away
from all you knew....
and your tears touched my heart!

You were only six
when your life was to change forever.
I sank within myself as
your father left us....
and your tears touched my heart
as you begged him to stay.

It took us some time,
but we found ourselves....
I taught you to laugh again,
to smile again,
to hope again....
and your tears touched
my heart as you graduated
with honors.

Your tears touched my heart
as I watched you struggle
your way into this world...
Your tears touched my heart
as I watched you find your own way....
Your tears touched my heart
as you felt your world crumble
beside you....
and your tears touched my heart
as you claimed this world as your own.

Before you, my beautiful daughter,
I knew tears only as an expression
of pain and loss....
through you,
I've learned tears speak
the language of every emotion...
happiness, sadness,
pain, surprise,
disappointment, contentment....

and thanks to God's mercy
and grace,
I was blessed to be
part of your world,
to watch you change from
helpless to unbeatable....
and as you go forth now
without me right by your side....
you can always come to me,
talk to me,
share everything with me...

as your tears will ALWAYS touch my heart!

I love you, baby!
