A tear for my soul, a tear for my sin <br />A tear for all my frail attempts to win <br /> <br />A tear for the world, a tear for my nation <br />A tear for everyone's guilt ridden passion <br /> <br />A tear for their depravity, a tear for the corruption <br />A tear for my people's sad state of abjection <br /> <br />A tear for the servant, a tear for the Master <br />A tear for the garden He tried to foster <br /> <br />A tear to stay, a tear to flee <br />A tear for you who cried for me <br /> <br />A tear for the brokenness, a tear for the pain <br />A tear for your words of comfort all in vain <br /> <br />A tear to get you, a tear that lost you <br />A tear for everything we've been through <br /> <br />A tear for my greed, A tear for my need <br />A tear for every mouth I forgot to feed <br /> <br />A tear for my past, a tear for the future <br />A tear for all the reasons I need to conjure <br /> <br />A tear for my gain, a tear for my game <br />A tear for all treasures of my shame <br /> <br />A tear for the wait, a tear for the clock <br />A tear for all the dreams that mock <br /> <br />A tear for my faith, a tear for the hope <br />A tear for my doubting ride down the slope <br /> <br />A tear for my laughter, a tear for my fear <br />A tear for all the glory seen unclear <br /> <br />A tear for my heaven, A tear for His return <br />A tear for all the days of eternal sojourn<br /><br />Stanislaus Solomon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tear-from-me/
