They say there's no tears in Heaven

They say there's no tears in Heaven
and I pray that's where I go
They say there's no tears in Heaven
but there's one thing that I know...

If I should be so very blessed
to beat this world, to pass this test
To rise above these earthly skies
Will I not have tears in my eyes

How could tears not drop one by one
as I leave behind the good I've done
and by the good, I mean my sons and daughters
Who will guide them through their troubled waters

Who will catch them when they fall
Who will come running when they call
Where will they turn to when they're scared
How will they know that they're prepared

and ready to face life head on
forget the dark, embrace the dawn
Will they forget my love, my deep affection
Will they know they still have my protection

because I would give up Heaven and battle Hell
to keep my children alive and well
to keep them safe and free from harm
but will I still be able to answer the alarm

Will I be able to cross that plane
to soften their cries and ease their pain
Who will look out for them for the rest of their years
The same one who holds me, and catches my tears

They say there's no tears in Heaven
but in this world I'm sometimes sad
I know their Father will surely care for them
far better than their dad

You made me cry again. What a beautiful message. To realize that in the end, we are all really powerless and it is the Lord who guides, loves, and protects us all, including our children.

Well, one thing I've learned is my kid's may not turn out exactly as I would want 'em to, but they will all turn out exactly as God knows they're going to. Word. I'm glad you like it.
