Tears
In Heaven
The only tears
that fall in heaven
Are drops of gentle April rain
Falling quietly in the mist of the valley
Showering down on the flora of Spring
Where the rose lifts her
head
toward Heaven
And welcomes the kiss of
each
drop on her cheek
And displays each droplet so proudly
Like tears of joy they
stream
down her face
The only tear drops that fall in Heaven
Fall from a fountain in a garden in May
Amid the peace and
beauty
of the blossoms
From the fountain of life they cascade
Heaven knows no tears
apart
from the ones
That dance in the tumult of a waterfall
Like tiny pearls they reveal their luster
As they promenade in the sweet November sun
So remember when you think of me
And the teardrops begin to fall
The only tears which
are
known in Heaven
Are tears of the greatest joy
No tears of sorrow shall
befall
me in Heaven
And though no longer in your arms
If you must shed tears and weep
Dry those tears of sorrow
And cry tears of joy for me!
