In the darkest day he came


Told me his sorrows

And shared his pain.



Tears streaming down his face

He longed for comfort and solace

A friendly smile

And a few soft words

Was all he wanted from this world.



At once I dropped myself

To his side

Until he began to smile.



At once his face lit up

Like the brightest star in the sky

Oh! What bliss it was to see

Such happiness in his life.



On his brightest day he left

No longer pained

By the sorrows that he felt



As he waved goodbye

He failed to see

That behind my smile

Was my own tear in my eye.
