The Last Tear Drop

A parenthood poem

I see the woman you will be one day.
This graduation moment for you I say;
You became a woman in such a whirl,
But you will always be my baby girl.

I see the man you will be one day.
This graduation moment for you I say;
This Last Tear Drop is for you,
You will always be my Bitty Boo.

Papas, as you walk life's valleys and peeks,
I hope you always find what you seek.
But if you should ever lose your way,
I'll always be here for you and say:

To you The Last Tear Drop I've sworn.
The moment you were born,
Entering this world you cried to me,
Your First Tear Drop to be.
