Angel Blessings

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 floras 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 that 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!
