What Makes a Real Man Cry!

I hear you even though I can no longer
see you,
smell you
Or feel your touch,
Only those who have experienced this
Can understand how I miss you so much.
You've played a big part of
What has turned me into this man,
Never to give up on myself
To always know that I can.
In these hands of mine
it is that of which I have control
Combined with a strong mind
Great stories will never go untold.
Your strength was admired
Your weakness barely breached
Wise words were often chosen
I can't see your face, I miss your hugs
But I can always hear you speak.
I Love You too Grandma!

What makes a real man cry?

First of all, define what a "real man" is! To a woman a real man will be defined totally different than a man's definition. A man that isn't afraid to empress his tender emotional side in front of others is a man in touch with how a man ought to be! We don't always have to come across as being macho! In the past men were always told not to cry and to be strong! Men hurt just like women do! We are all emotional beings and subject to our emotions from time to time....well...some more than others.
