Night Tears

Every night after the sun has set
  All the diapers changed
  Little mouths fed

Toys out, covering the floor

Laundry, folded, thats about it

Dishes in the sink

Pots and pans soaking
  (no dishwasher)

The moon and stars
  Not so romantic anymore
  No more mystery
So tired of thinking
So tired of planning every moment
  Stressing about each second
                  each cent
                  each sense
I love him
He loves me
There isn't a doubt, no question
He sleeps right beside me every night

And so silently a tear falls
                   in the dark
At night
  Tears fall
Tears of frustration
      of joy
      of love
      of faith
Tears of pain-past and present
      of tomorrow
         today
Tears of life-they fall
Night tears
