I Can'T Count the Tears

Unlike the Drifters and Smokey Robinson of previous years, I am unable to keep track and count the tears. They say a man is too strong to cry. However, crying is something I cannot deny. Ever since you went away, I have been missing you each day. The flame in my heart continues to burn, as I optimistically await your return. inspired by another member's poem

The poem turned out real well. There is nothing wrong with a man that cries. I believe that tears clean the soul and aliviate a pain.Thanks for sharing. .. Lucilla
