Silent Tears



My thoughts dwell on Daddy and Lena
Each year around this time
Anniversaries I'd just as soon forget
But they're still in my heart and mind



Twenty-six years and two days apart
They left us with pain and grief
One had no choice; one wanted to go
Passage of time gave no relief



Letting my heart fill with bitterness
I questioned God for the reasons why
And refused to find the acceptance
That my loved ones had to die



But time has answered my questions
And sweet peace with God I've found
Picturing our loved ones in Heaven
And knowing that's where I'm bound



My mind is no longer in turmoil
From the pain of those many years
My heart contains no bitterness
And I now cry silent tears
