A Tear Fell by Marge Tindal
I shed a tear today
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it
shared it
held it
felt it
then
suddenly
it wasn't
so big
after all
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it

it wasn't
so big
after all
When friends help the most, they silently pick up our tears and hold them for us.
