I Shed a Tear

I Shed a Tear

I shed a tear for you today,
My heart it skipped a beat.
Your tiny hand I didn't hold,
Our eyes they didn't meet.

I shed a tear for you today,
No longer are you here.
Taken from me before your time,
I cannot hold you near.

I shed a tear for you today,
For things I didn't do,
Is destiny something we control?
These things I wish I knew.

I shed a tear for you today,
For all that you won't see.
I'm left alone without you now,
These things weren't meant to be.

I shed so many tears today,
Will they ever cease?
The only comfort I can find,
Is knowing you're at peace.

Happy Birthday Astri!
