know God
puts all your
tears in a
bottle?
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet
A Tears in a Bottle Collection Signature Poem.
to Shirley Skidmore Holley and Megan
Like the pages in my bible,
That record my family tree;
You've recorded all my troubles,
In your book of tears, I see.
Here's the time I found my true love,
Happy tears shimmered on my face;
So sadly. I lost that loved one,
You received all my tears with grace.
You wrote down the birth of my child,
Prideful tears glistened in my eyes;
And when he (she) caused fear and sorrow,
You took my tears each time I cried.
See the star beside my new job,
You blessed me and I walked tall;
I got stubborn, went my own way,
You caught my tears, I took a fall.
All my tears are in a bottle,
My bible says you put them there;
To remind me of your presence,
Each time I shed tears in despair.
