Let Me Cry

Once again, I found a beautiful poem by my Grandmother. It was in a time where she recently lost a dear loved one. She used poetry to share her life, and this is but a small part. Though I've never seen her cry, I know she does, and so must we. I hope I honor her by this arranging of her beautiful, thoughtful poem.

Note: I made some editorial changes to the poem to make it fit to the tune, but the intent is left.

If you see me sitting where no one else is with me there, 
and you see tears upon my cheek, please don't think you have to speak 
Just let me cry. 

All of us must cry sometime. It's not so strange; it's no crime. 
Life has its joys and many trials, faces can't show endless smiles 
as time goes by. 

Sometimes a beautiful surprise will bring teardrops to my eyes, 
and I laugh through the tears that fall, not minding being seen at all. 
But why should I? 

In my life tears play quite a role; always seem to cleanse my soul, 
especially if my sorrowing heart will be the reason for tears to start. 
And I must cry. 

If I need comfort I'll go where I can seek my Lord in prayer. 
I know He's always standing by, and yes He knows I, too must cry, 
and the reason why.
