Green and White Tears
As the rain tears down over the calm morning skies
All seemed fine high up the heavens
Wrought Iron gates open on this unusually sunny day
As a whirlwind of innocence was welcomed un-expectantly
Before there where questions without answers
As now there are Dreams and Pain in plentiful prayers
And tears so deep that they leave you breathless
And yet those questions are still unanswered
Because long before those Green and White tears
Questions did not have answers
And those answers did not have Faith
For it is Faith that made the weak strong
Strong even as you have no strength in your legs
As you collapse on floor in Green and White tears
A tree with no roots can be lifted
But as Ben is still around us all our roots are growing strong
Life outside our senses exists as Ben grows into a Man
Waiting ever so patiently to say “Mom, Dad! I love you”
“Mom, Dad, keep the faith” “Mom, Dad, I still need you”
Need you to be strong in faith, need you to be strong in love
Need you to be strong in life for one day we shall meet.
Mom, Dad, I can still see you, even when you can’t see me
Mom, Dad, rejoice for now, because if you ever knew…
Ever knew what I see now, ever knew and wondered how
Ever knew for what is to come as Faith ties our roots together
Patience is a painful thing to learn when seconds feels like days
Time moves at standstill when your lives suddenly come to a halt
Life exists outside your house when at times it’s all you see
The mourning walls will become clearer through time
As the memories fade to dreams made possible through faith
Faith is the cornerstone of blessing and the longer you wait
The bigger the impact of your reunion will be
So as this leave fell off that tree it dripped a Green and White tear
And one day that leaf will hit the ground but it will be gently caught
In a Green and White Tear.
Love you all,
