There Were Tears In My Eyes

There Were Tears in My Eyes
For Prince Harry who has done so much for the AIDS orphans in Lesotho.

There were tears in my eyes
When I saw you smile.
There were tears in my eyes when  I heard your laughter.
There were tears in my eyes when I saw you carry Mutsu
There were tears in my eyes when I saw you plant a tree
There were tears in my eyes when I saw you feed the orphans
There were tears in my eyes when I saw you comfort those who were hurting
There were tears in my eyes when I saw you giving your hand to lift up the fallen.
There were tears in my eyes when I saw the glints in your eyes.
The glints of the loving eyes of your loving mother.
Yes, there were tears in my eyes and I was very happy.
Happy to see you doing what your mother would have done too.
So, with these tears in my eyes I know that God loves you.

Sentebale
Oh, Sentebale!
Forget me not.
