Teardrops From Heaven
I was walking all alone.
And from above I heard the ringing
of a phone.
Instinctively I look up to the sky.
And I saw angels flying by.
As they flew up high,
Water dropped from the sky.
I wondered "How could this be?
"Raindrops coming from a clear, blue sky."
The drops rolled down my cheeks,
and I tasted them upon my lips.
And realized that they were not raindrops,
but teardrops.
Teardrops from a crying love one.
I then heard a voice say answer the phone.
I did and the call said it all
"You're not alone, I live on."
Love is a powerful testimony,
which can transcend even the boundary
between human life and death.
