Tears of a Widow

I knew all along
my tears were
full of self pity

I felt sorry for myself
and for the loss of you
I knew they were tears of shock
tears for needing time to process
time to get my bearings

then one night
I knew I had crossed
a milestone when
my tears turned to 
tears of gratitude
for having been blessed
with the love of you
