Unashamed Tears

The following poem was inspired by a conversation I had with a young man last week while in Romania. His unashamed tears flowed from the loss of his earthly father and the gain of a heavenly Father.

Manly Tears

There's no shame in a man crying.
In fact, there are times
When it's a shame for a man not to cry.
There is shame, though, in the man
Who has no good reasons for which to cry.
