Silent Tears

Weep silently
Oh child of mine
Your heart now broken
For all time

The wound is deep
And will not heal
When her eyes close
It will make it real

Would that I
Could bare your pain
The yoke you carry
Holds no shame

My son given
By another's womb
Watches as she
Slips to her doom

I'm sorry my child
I'll hold your hand
And stand with you
As she enters the Promise Land.
