Man's Man

A grown man doesn't cry,
I've heard it said all my life.
It shows a man is weak,
to lose his self control.

So I learned to laugh and joke,
During sad and tragic times,
Ridicule the men who allowed,
A few tears to be shed.

I'm a man I say to all,
Big and strong for sure.
Let no one try to dispute,
Or I'll show them what for.

My wife especially knows.
I prove it to her every day.
But times I wonder if she knows,
I cry watching sad TV shows...
