Rain and Tears

As the rain beats on my window
I watch drops slide down the glass,
I think of my teardrops falling
So many times in the past.

When I said goodbye to loved ones
Who had gone through Heaven's door,
The tears ran slowly from my eyes,
I wanted things as they were before.

I knew I'd miss their gentle smile,
Their voice I'd long to hear.
I wished I'd said "I love you" more
To each precious one so dear.

I know someday when my life is through,
I'll have joy beyond compare.
For when Jesus leads me through that gate,
All my loved ones will be waiting there.
