If Tears Should Overflow
(for Willowdown)
If once again the banks are damp
with none to soak away the pain
I will dry one eye till the waters
flow freely again and you remain
Your tender heart recognized me
the mother whose hands lie softly
upon the shoulders of my child
always there for a child of Osisis
Let those whose eyes overflow
drop their love tears into the Nile
I will sweep them along their way
some tears must linger for a while
Gaze upon the tears of Isis with a
tender heart of compassion.
