A Single Tear

My favorite so far...
A wild laugh or a fear small,
A single tear says it all…
The emotions of a mother holding her child,
His first sight and her smile mild,
And the speck of water in her eyes,
Looking at a face where her world lies.
Her boundless love for the one small,
A single tear says it all.
The agony of a widow for her dead soul mate,
The curse she puts on her ill fate,
The farewell of the sweet days they shared,
The days they laughed, they cried, they cared.
The pain of the widow, her hopes small,
A single tear says it all.
The feelings of the mother of a bride,
Her never-ending happiness and the painful tide,
On seeing her daughter go away,
Somewhere far, amidst the swaying may.
Her emotions both big and small,
A single tear says it all.
The anxiety of a player playing his sport,
Giving his losing side, the full support.
The fear of a kid from an unknown shadow,
Spying on him from a faraway meadow.
The anticipation of the big man and fear of the small,
A single tear says it all.
The despair of a soldier facing defeat.
The feeling of the two lovers dying to meet.
A wild laugh or a fear small,
A single tear says it all.
