Men Can
Cry
I
never really understood
Why men can't
cry too.
They
must feel it's a weakness
And something
only women do.
Looking back
when I was a young girl
I never
saw the men in my family cry.
I never really
thought about
Or even
questioned why.
I will have to
admit a love in my life
Had a tender
side to show
When sentimental cards were
given
His tears would start to flow.
I remember one
weekend my son
Came home
from college for a visit.
I wanted to
watch a certain movie
Although I
knew he really didn't.
The movie was
called "My Girl"
So he decided to give it a try.
Toward the end
of the movie he said,
You didn't tell
me it would make me cry.
It was the first
time I had seen
My oldest son
shed a tear
It was nice to
see his softer side
I will always
hold that memory dear.
So men,
it's really okay to cry.
It takes a real
man to show it.
So
don't hold back or be afraid
Your women will
love you for it.
