The six silent tears

Anecia Tashai Richards 2022 (Black River)



Last night before I went to bed
Thoughts of you filled my head
I have not cried this way in many years
Onto my pillow fell si silent tears

The first was for your smile that I missed
And your tender lips I long to kiss
The second was for your gentle face
And thoughts of your loving embrace

The third came as no surprise
As I thought of your beautiful eyes
The fourth came rolling down my face
Instead of my pillow, it should be you in its place

The fifth came for one reason alone
I felt my love for you wasn't fully shown
I really love you and miss you my dear And I just feel, the sixth silent year
