Seasoned Tears

There’s nothing I can do
To hide the seasoned tears
Of trying wretched days
And countless misplaced years
The price I pay is great
Though they may never know
They see still waters shimmer
While I fight the undertow
And through the days that look like night
My tears would turn to prayer
And words that once were whispered wise
One never should despair
My seasoned tears may fall like rain
Through dark clouds in my eyes
But through it all I know your there
To lift my spirit high
Weighed down by pain and longing
Too often spent apart
The years would not be kind to me
I’d seen this from the start
There’s no remedy to unite
The scar sliced through my heart
But tender moments, filled with love
Like rays burn through the clouds
They shine with warmth and comfort
To bleach my pain-soaked shroud
And should I reach the golden years
Will four walls still remain?
Or will I reap the long sought prize
I’ve toiled so hard to obtain
