No More Tears Can I Cry - A Poem By: Carlos Antonio Maxwell Sr

I filled buckets as if from the skies
Rubbing shaking hands over bloodshot eyes

Drowning.in the pearlescent drops
They flow they flow as if it never stops

But as each day passes I feel the flow end
My heart, my soul, my being is on the mend

I know time has been my enemy but now I embrace
She no longer stalks me, she no longer gives chase

I walk beside her reflecting on memories
Time is my companion now, no longer enemies

So I shed fewer tears
Wake up with fewer fears

Pray for understanding and for grace
For in his hands I do place

All the tears and all my sorrow
Will be a little less come tomorrow

No more tears can I cry
For I save the last one that final goodbye
No more tears can I cry
