The Teary Eyed Angel

There is a tree that sits high in the yard
with a teary eyed angel up high in its branches
with a tear streaked face and sniffle and sigh
she looks down at the grass as her tears fall like rain
one drop
two drop
three drop
four
cry a little
sigh some more
the sunlight reaches out and touches her face
brushing the tears away from her face
it wraps her up in a blanket of warmth
and once her tears are dried all up
and the rain stops falling
she closes her eyes and says goodbye to the earth below
she rides up on the clouds
to the heaven that she knows
for she is the angel that comes down below
to cry and comfort all the people who are crying down below
she comes to take the pain of those all crying upon her own weary shoulders
Nobody knows who she is and is only seen crying in the old oak trees
