As I hold your hand
You grow cold and weak
Pale hands loose in my grip
Tears are shed for you
Your children will be alone
In this cold cruel world
Hoping that you could be there
Tears are shed for you
Six years of torture
Not being able to eat
Body growing thin and weak
Hoping that you could finally grow
But alas
Tears are shed for you
As you are being lowered down
Into the ground
Cold as stone
Stuck in a potion that you had not known
Hoping that people could see you wanted not glee
But your face had been frozen that way
Tears are shed for you
As you leave the earth in dismay
St. Peters gates stand before you
You look around
For all is in a cloud
White against the brillent gold
A man adorned in white came to you and said
“You have done well
With your children
And your animals
And you always worked as hard as you could
Tried not to sin and prayed all the time
My son you may come through the gates
Of which your Heavenly Father lives
But child you must remember
Tears were shed for you”
The said man in embrace
Head against his shoulder
He wept tears of joy
And sang to the heavens around him
That seemed to go on for all eternity
“For now I know
That all I have now
Is just the beginning of all my time
What’s more to me is
When my children and my wife
Come to these gates after a time
May I remember to
Cry for them as they did for me
For this is not a burden
Just a heavenly joy
And might I be pleased
To find them here one day
Make it only better
For I have still remembered
Tears were shed for me"
And as the years passed
The man felt no sorrow
And never felt weak or powerless as he had on Earth.
He watched the alives
Sorrow and strive
Keeping a close eye on some
Then one day a woman,
Tall and lean
Having thick flowing stream of raven hair,
She ran from the gates towards him.
She said
“Tears were shed for you
As they were also for me”
The man told her not to be sad
And then said
"That is how it should be
For when they die
Tears will be shed for them too”
And for many years they lived as said
And never did they forget the lesson they learned
At the begining of their stay
At the palace hidden gracefully in the sky.
