SIX SILENT TEARS
Last night before I went to bed, thoughts of you filled my troubled
head;
Though I’ve not cried this way in many years, onto my pillow fell
Six silent tears.
The first was your smile that I miss, and your tender lips that I long
To kiss;
The second was for your angel face, and the thoughts of your warm
Loving embrace.
The third came as no surprise, as I thought of your beautiful brown
Eyes;
After this the forth came rolling, instead of my pillow it’s you I
Should be holding.
The fifth one came for one reason alone, my love for you was not fully
Shown;
Yes I really miss you my dear, there just fell my sixth silent tear.

THE COLLABORATION
Oh Father I give thanks to you for sending me the vision;
For opening my heart and mind, for making this decision...
The angels give a toast; inside my hearts a celebration,
The poets form as one, giving birth to the collaboration...
You’ll feel the love and passion as it comes straight from the Lord;
You’ll feel the truth and justice as he swings his mighty sword....
I’d like to Thank the ones who put their heart into this book, who
Gave it all they had in spite of all the strength it took...
I’d like to thank you for your words and for your dedication;
And now we stand before the world as one collaboration.
