When A Man Cries

Men strive to appear formidable and strong, In their castles, they are the lord; But when a man cries for a woman's love, These are tears that cannot be ignored There are those who say a man should not cry, But when a woman withholds her love, Loneliness overtakes his aching heart...... Crying is all he's capable of When he struggles to hold back the tears, And his blue sky has turned dark gray, It is then that a woman's smile and touch Will help him to find his way If he's crying tears of apology and remorse, Then she must consider his request; Show forgiveness, we all fail at times, A second chance will put his heart at rest Don't play with his feelings, guard his dignity, Don't plant seeds of deception and lies; This can only result in a harvest of woe, Everything changes, something in him dies When he's navigating troubled waters alone, When his soul sinks into dark despair, Bring the light back to his empty eyes, Hold him tenderly, show that you care Don't let him languish in sorrow and pain, Lift the burden as gently as you can; The storm is over...... don't deny him your love, And never ignore the tears of a man!
