Sugar Tears

Some days, I cry my sugar tears
     For loves , I’ve lost throughout the years
For memories of sweet goodbyes
                 Or happiness in someone’s eyes

Some days, I need my sugar tears
                 To try and live without the fears
Of loneliness for empty chairs
             And empty beds in rooms upstairs

Yet they are also tears of joy
                           For visions of a little boy
So loved by those who came before
             To welcome him with love so pure

For memories of holidays
  Of Christmas lights and high school plays
Those honeyed tears that ebb and flow
           To toast this life I've come to know
