Once Upon a Tear Drop

 My life has gotten so heavy 

Over many a year and day.

Things I thought I knew for sure

Only seems to get in my way.

It only takes a moment

To change the way things seem.

An action undone or a word unsaid

Could have saved my dream.

I searched deep inside my soul and heart

To find what had been lost

And realized the road I followed

Had too big a cost.

So once upon a teardrop,

I decided to move up

And build a life  meant for me.

Filling up my cup.

Some things had to take second place

To let my spirit soar. 

To let my talents take me

Where I've never been before.

Happiness is knowing

 Who you are within.

To have a perfect ending

You must know where to begin.
