Men Do Cry

I heard quite often that "men don't cry"

Though no one ever told me why.

So when I fell and skinned my knee

No one came by to comfort me.

And when some bully boy at school

Would pull a prank so mean and cruel

I'd quickly learn to turn and quip

"It doesn't hurt" and bite my lip.

So as I grew to reasoned years

I learned to stifle any tears.

Though "Be a big boy" it began

Quite soon I learned to "Be a man."

And I could play the stoic role

While storm and tempest wracked my soul.

No pain nor setback could there be

Could wrest one single tear from me.

Then one long night I stood nearby

And hopelessly watched my son die.

And quickly found to my surprise

That all that tearless talk was lies.

And still I cry and have no shame

I cannot play that "big boy" game.

And openly without remorse

I let sorrow take its course.

So those of you who can't abide

A man you've seen who's often cried

Reach out to him with all your heart

As one whose life's been torn apart.

For men do cry when they can see

Their loss of immortality

And tears will come in endless streams

When mindless fate destroys their dreams.

God Must Of Spent A Little More Time On You

Can this be true, tell me can this be real
How can I put into words what I feel
My life was complete, I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losin' control
I never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be, oh that right here with me
There's an angel, it's a miracle
chorus
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must of spent a little more time on you
A little more time
I'm sure he did
Yes he did
In all of creation, all things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold when you came in this world
And I'm tryin' hard to figure out,
just how I ever did without
Oh, the warmth of your smile, the heart of a child
It's deep inside and leaves me purified
chorus
Yes he did
Yes he did
I never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be, that right here with me
There's an angel, it's just a miracle
chorus
God must of spent a little more time on you
On you
On you
A little more time
You

God Must Of Spent A Little More Time On You

I need help from a picture
To remember your face;
That sweet smell of your clothes
Has left not a trace.

But the memories that count
Lie deep in my heart,
Where my love keeps on growing
Even though we're apart.

My sweet little baby
My thoughts do you share?
Do you know how I miss you,
Still love and still care?
Do you sense the strong bond
I still feel with you;
Even death could not break it,
Can you feel it too?
A life, oh, so short,
How tragic, it's true,
But your life still has meaning
To those who knew you.

For you taught us how fragile
Our lives here can be.
What really has value
You helped us to see.
So you see, my darling
You lived not in vain.
You will always be remembered
Even after pain.

Why our baby?
She was told the baby was sick
He must be delivered quick
Why our baby?
Why our child?
He came into this world in such a hurry
The doctors said theres no need to worry
Why our baby?
Why our child?
The words came in a blur
As we heard the problems that were
Why our baby?
Why our child?
The family began to gather round
To give him the love that we bound
Why our baby?
Why our child?
As we said our final goodbyes
To the precious one we never heard cry
To our baby
To our child
In loving memory of James Evander Turner Jr.
