Older Poems from the Pen of Olan L. Smith

A Single Tear

A Single Tear    

© Olan L. Smith, 09-05-06

I walk alone

Remembering a tome

Of love and courage

Of hate and fear

My passion flows forth like a river;

My home, flooded by a single tear.

The collective weeping

Is a howl in my ear

Reminding me

I travel not alone

But with a great host

Of injured souls.
