Real Men Don't Cry
I've always been an emotional type
But as I've climbed life's ladder
I've become this blubbering old duffer
Eyeballs too close to my bladder
At the drop of a phrase a wee bit sad
Tears start welling up in my soul
Words come out quite indiscernible
Need interpreters to fill in the holes
As a youngster had a definite impression
It was never very manly to pout
Since realized it's just a natural emotion
So now I let it all hang out
It's not that I have control anyway
Keep trying but the teardrops still show
It's a losing battle right from the start
Might as well just go with the flow
So if your screen starts filling up
With buckets of wet salty tears
Back away and try to save yourself
Till again they sound the all clear

I loved this piece just as much as I love my Jack. You`ve described us both perfectly in this one. Everyone knows that I`m a soppy old mare, so what the heck if they see the tears, I`m only human!! If I love someone I tell them as often as I can because life is too short and everyone likes to hear those three little words when they are sincerely meant anyway don`t they?! Well done sweetie for this one
I LOVES YA KIDDO
