~ The Lake of Tears ~

A salty tear rolled down her satin cheek,
disappearing on her blouse below.
But as her heart began to shake and weep,
there's one thing she didn't know.

Waiting there on the other side my love,
a lake of tears is now refilling,
with the cries of broken promises,
shattered dreams of those unwilling.

Yes there seems no hope this moment,
as your aching heart pours forth,
but those salty tears of sorrow,
feed a lake of golden worth.

You see, those salty tears don't fade away,
and disappear into the air,
they form a moonlit lake for lovers,
on the other side to share.

A lake of tears where gentle lovers,
stroll along its shimmering shore,
they capture kisses and love embraces,
leading on to so much more.

Yes, their love in all its glory,
send back hope to you above,
your falling salty tears of sorrow,
feeding them below with love.
