Poem:

A Silent Tear

Just close your eyes and you will see,

Just sit and relax and you will find

I am really there inside your mind

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone

For I am in the land of song

There is no pain, there is no fear

So dry away that silent tear

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold

For here I am, no longer old

I’m in the place that’s filled with love

Known as up above – that heavenly place.
