A father said to his son
Who had a tear in his eye
If you want to be a man
You absolutely cannot cry





You won't be a man if do
And you'll be brought to shame
You'll be looked down upon
Some will call you a dame





The son looked up
Towards his dad
With eyes of sorrow
And his face drooping and sad





He said, dad I believe
Crying is from God a gift
To release what's inside
And give us a lift





If we don't cry
And release our pain
It will stay inside
And come back again





When our pain builds up
And we can't take it anymore
Our frustration breaks out
With destruction galore





Dad, I believe crying
Is from God above
To prevent us from hurting
The one's we love





Would it be pleasing to God
If I were hurting others around
Or would He rather see me crying
With my head bowed down?


A Man Who Cries Is a "WISE MAN"
