Tears

Tears of happiness filled his eyes

He felt like the happiest man alive

When he saw the tiny body of his son

His delicate face made his heart burst

Burst into eternal bliss

As today he was blessed

With the best gift

That God could ever give

He shouted all about the streets

"Annabeth! I'm a father" He exclaimed as he passed Dunken's Eatery

"Ricky! Did you hear I’m a father?"

He screamed, shrieked and shouted in joy as if he had reached infinity

But the doctors revealed something bitter

That made him shiver

A fatal heart disease his son had acquired

On hearing this, his soul was on fire

He tried his best

Consulted every doctor in town

He prayed all day and night

But the prayers couldn't save his son from dying

His heart sank deep

All that he could do now was weep

He felt half dead

With pain seeping in his body every second

A year has passed now

But the wound is still fresh somehow

As he sheds a tear almost everyday

Asking Lord "Why couldn't my son stay?"
