If You Could Cry
If you could cry
But just one tear
Be grateful for your cheer,
But if from hate
That your tears do wait
Be sad from your fears.
For the tear unwept
Is a sorrow kept
A sad thing to hold and keep,
And if it is better to smile
Than it is to cry
I think I would rather sit and weep.
For if you could cry
But just one tear,
From only just one thought.
I feel for you
And the friends you knew,
And the love and memories that you lost.
