Men don't Cry

I had the privilege to see a grown man cry this last week. He had a chance, before family and Friends to send a blessing to his son that was graduating from high school. As he stood there, with tissue in hand, he shared awesome words to his son as he faced the next season of his life. I, for one, am not part of the camp that says men don't cry! There are moments and times were I say, let the tears flow guys.

Tim McGraw sings a song that has the title "Grown men don't Cry" enjoy!

I pulled into the shopping center And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother Like ice cream melting they embraced Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face All mornin'

I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car I wanted to tell 'em it would be ok But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

Keep having this dream about my old man I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around So many things I wanna say to him But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife And everything that I hold dear in my life We say grace and thank the Lord Got so much to be thankful for Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says "I haven't had my story yet." And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that When she lifts her head off her pillow and says, "I Love You Dad"

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry I don't know why they say grown men don't cry And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

Have a Great Day
