I attended a large funeral
of a little child who died.
The fathers’ heart was broken
and openly he cried.
This man, by all who know him,
is a rugged type of guy.
and some were quite astonished
to see this big man cry.
But I thought, “Now here’s a man,
who shows no outward fears
and proves that he is human
by the shedding of his tears.”
They who say real men don’t cry
don’t seem to understand
that a man who shows emotions
is by far the greater man.
If you are one who still believes
the “men don’t cry” concept,
read John Eleven: Thirty Five,
where is written, “Jesus wept.”
