Sissy -- Men Don'T Cry

I do not know what I'm going to Write I don't want to offend, I won't fight Are YOU a Sissy when YOU Cry at a WAKE? Do the Salted Tears say Your Masculinity's FAKE? As you stand by the Graveside of YOUR Only True LOVE Salt rivers rolling down YOUR cheek : Sissy, Men Don’t cry Do the tears (as unto Samson ) take away Your strength? YOU Die?! YOU are no longer a Rock, The pillar the Great Man YOUR Child speaks of Even the Welling up of Tears in YOUR eyes Sissy, Men DOn’t Cry Oh! Look at the little Baby Cry: go on. Get out of here YOUR not a Man Can these Tears change YOUR Mind, Thoughts, Ideas : Do they make YOUR Soul ;Lie Are the Solemn TEARS of SALVATION the Pathway to Heaven the Promise Land Let there not be Tears of Fear, Tears of Joy, Tears of excruciating PAIN You are a Man Do not let down Your manly defenses, Do not let YOUR Tears Rain Sissy - Men DON’t Cry unsheathe thy sword show the World the Tear, YOU’VE Slain I Cry for those who have never shed a Tear, Emotions buried inside with shackle and Chain Sissy -- MEN DON’T CRY I Respectfully Disagree Should a Man Shed a TEAR Silently or publicly YOU ARE STILL A MAN Dedicated With Honor and Respect To John Rhinem An Michael Jordan

HG - The ability for anyone to cry is a sign of strong emotions felt by an individual. Whether the tears be of happiness, joy, sadness or pride - crying is a sense of "the definition/truisms of innermost feelings." A terrific write I hope more readers come to inhale and respect. Wonderfully penned! Wishing you a Happy & Blessed New Year. Peace always, John

When a man has the ability to cry...then I know that he is strong enough to feel with his heart! It's a good thing! ~ Carrie
