To Cry a Little Bit
Afford me some time
To wail a little bit this morning
Give me a little while
To whine like a dumbbell.
Try to comprehend me a little
My friends, men weep too a bit
Men and women cry because of trouble
To relieve the sad and envious heart.
Crying is not an act of cowardice
On the contrary, when things beyond the bounds
One has to find a way to relieve oneself.
In the end, we must dry our frozen tears
To admire the passing wind and the storms
On the upset ocean and uprooted trees.
