No More Tears

His breathing is struggled and shallow
But his aura is quiet cool blue
I see he cares no more
He knows he is going
And there is nothing he can do

Softly I whisper
For my father is leaving
A prayer for safe journeys
And for all who are grieving

A single last tear
Slips down his gray cheek
Though he is not conscious
I can hardly speak

His tear mingles with mine
My silent flow
I cry my last tear for him
I just want him to know

I wish I could stop him
I cannot take this much pain
This unbearable sadness
I cannot explain

It has been all of four years
I have done it my way
I have not cried any tears
Since my dad passed away
