I’ve shed a lot of
teardrops as I’ve journeyed through my life,
And suffered many heartaches and a lot of fears and
strife.
But the tears that I
remember most, and those that stand apart,
Were the tears of deep emotion from a touched and
grateful heart.
Sweet tears of radiant
joy filled my eyes when as a bride,
I pledged to love forever my dear sweetheart at my
side.
And when I held my little
babes, created from our love,
The happy tears rolled down my cheeks as I thanked God
above.
I cried when they went
off to school, and as I watched them grow
I savored all the joyous times a mother’s heart
could know.
Sometimes they brought me
special gifts in their sweet childish way,
And as they showed their love for me, my tears
weren’t far away.
So many blessed memories
were often wrapped in tears,
And they are precious to me as I look back through the
years.
I’ve read there’ll be
no tears in Heaven on that golden shore,
And there will be no sorrow as we praise God evermore.
But I expect my tears of
joy will fall again that day,
When Jesus wraps me in His arms, and wipes them all
away.
