Why Don'T Men Cry
Why don’t men cry, or do they.
Why do they not share feelings?
From onset of childhood, we say.
Be very tough; secure the dealings.
Boys are sissies when they cry.
No shedding tears, it will not fly.
No water works, eyes is dry.
Not even a whimper, or sigh.
Boys are soon to be men
Then definitely not then,
Shows weakness to fall,
No feelings should be seeing.
However, when father sees son,
Upon their birth, a life begun,
Tears show up under the gun.
This is truly always done.
Upon losing one, feelings flow.
Loss of close loved ones do show.
Graduation days, glistened glow,
Weddings of daughter’s hearts know.
Water works upon this day
Just a factual notion; that is said
Humanity will always keep it fed.
Why don’t men cry, or do they.
