Hidden Tears

Hidden Tears

You hold me in your arms,

holding me tight never letting go.

You’re singing a song…

as you lay me down to sleep.

I look into your eyes and see,

all the sorrow and pain you have had.

But as I sit a pond a window sill,

and look up to the stars.

I feel teardrops fall down my cheeks,

teardrops that I have been holding in.

They are hidden tears-for my mother that I love.

You may not know, you may not see,

what lies deep within me.

I talk with you, you share your thoughts

- I share my dream

It may seem like I don’t care…

but I have for many years-

I have hidden tears.
