I am standing here looking up
and I can feel the wet of my face,
Yet I know it is not rain
making my face so wet,
It is the gentle tears falling
drop by drop from my eyes.
Please know that I am not sad
that these tears are not despair,
I want you to understand
that I am not mad or hurt,
It is something else entirely
that have these tears falling.
My heart is filled with such joy
and a glowing happiness,
That words are so far beyond me
and all I can do is stand here,
Stand here and let the tears fall
as the smile covers my face.
My tears are for all the good
that I have seen and felt,
For all the happiness I touched
or had touch my life,
Tenderness and mercy abounding
as these tears do fall.
Every day that passes just adds
to the joy and wonder in me,
New friends and experiences
for me to share with all,
So fear not that I am sad
for these tears, are ones of joy.
