Wow--even more poetry!!!

I don't mean to have all these poems that talk about crying-it's just coincidence!!! I swear!!
CRY
The death of a loved one
The absence of a friend
Your heart being broken
The beginning of an end
The birth of your child
The hurt of alone
Your fondest childhood memory
The first time you leave home
Someone you love has just let you down
Your flooded with joy when your lost child's found
It's been 50 years since you both said 'I do'
Your father lays still as you watch from a pew
Your very first love
Your last funeral mourned
You look back at these things
And a teardrop is formed

Ahhh....the release that poetry brings!!!

A DAUGHTER'S CRY
He chose to hurt, he chose to lie
He chose to make his daughter cry
Years of trust went down the drain
A broken girl is what remains
A pain so harsh it can't be real
A shattered heart no one can heal
How could this man she loved so much
make her cringe with just one touch?
Her heart grows cold with each icy glance
He doesn't deserve another chance
"He hurt us God," she yelled at night
"now mom and him can only fight"
"Is this your plan? Is this from you?"
"I won't believe that that is true"
Her heart so cold no one could melt
Until the love of God was felt
'YOUR TRUST SHOULD ONLY BE IN ME'
'MY PLANS FOR YOU, YOU DON'T YET SEE'
'COME HERE MY CHILD, I'M TOO YOUR DAD'
'BUT I WON'T HURT YOU, I WON'T GET MAD'
'MY LOVING ARMS WILL ONLY HOLD'
'MY GENTLE MOUTH WILL NEVER SCOLD'
Slowly, slowly her eyes turned up
Looking to Him to fill her cup
God changed her father's heart and mind
until his words were only kind
She saw in him a man of love
Whose strength and hope came from above
Years have passed and trust was gained
A loving bond is what remains
What God has done to change these lives
Has healed the scars and killed the lies
She stands by his side and hears him sigh
This time it's her whose made him cry
He holds her hand tight with no words to say
The love that he feels as he gives her away
He looks at this man and with tears in his eye
Prays to the Lord that he won't make her cry
