Two Raindrops

Two raindrops
Just sitting there,
Like my tears,
But those seldom come in twos. 
At first it was a deluge,
Gushing rivers of sorrow 
And of pain. 
Now they’re just trickles,
Sometimes expected,
Sometimes not.
Always because of you. 

And I know.
I know He can take
The most broken and burned ashes
And make something beautiful. 
I know deep down in the darkness,
There’s life growing
Watered by our tears 
And those from heaven. 
But that doesn’t make it any easier. 

And I know there will be brighter days,
Eventually. 
There’s already been plenty of sunny days
Since that achingly bright day 
When we first learned you were gone. 
And today is no different. 
But no matter how many seasons come and go,
Without you
A tiny part of my heart 
Will be forever winter.
