The First Teardrop

The first teardrop shed, was one of joy
A newfound hope of a baby girl or boy

The chance to give unconditional love
To a beautiful babe, sent from above

The first glimmer of light or hope as it seems
Of a long awaited miracle, a long awaited dream

Then one day the dream was no more
Why the tragedy happened, no one is sure

The are no easy answers of why or how
Only unanswered questions of what to do now

In a song I'm reminded of God's special gift
A promise of love, my pain He will lift

For every teardrop in the darkness I cried
Jesus strove to remind me, "that for those tears I died"

The first teardrop shed was one of joy
A newfound hope of a baby girl or boy
