The true feeling of a man is shown in his tears
when he is alone and no one hears
Do you think he shouldn’t cry?
Well, he does and I’ll tell you why.

Because he’s tired of being strong
and feeling as if he doesn’t belong.
Sometimes he’s drained emotionally
and doesn’t want reality.

Work goes on from year to year
problems mount; love disappeared.
Children leave and worry haunts
he wonders what he really wants.

A woman waiting at the door
just a word and nothing more.
Well, ok, maybe a kiss would do

he never finds this to be true.

He goes to church and kneels and prays
and asks the Lord “why are things this way?”
Returns to sleep alone in bed
tossing and turning, thoughts in his head.

And then to add to all of this
he found a site where sun has kissed
the faces shining in poetry
and not enough time for him to see.

Oh, thank you God, you answer prayer
You found me one day unprepared.
Ok, I’ll find the way to buy
My own PC, just watch me try!

I think you wrote a whole bunch of this woman's ramblings, too! *S* Great job!

(And once more... edit time. Why do I see the glaring errors just AFTER I hit send, but never before? LOL)

Glad you got the PC now you can write to all of us....I appreciate the words here...life seems like one is on a treadmill all the time. Well, not always but most of the time. I have learned to stop and appreciate the wonderful gift of consciousness every day and it's calmed my spirit immensely. Life, that beautiful vessel that takes us through this world of experiences while there is always someone worse off than we are... Thanks for sharing .......everyone's got to ramble on once in awhile...take care ethome

Dennis,

Very refreshing read here. I hope you find what you are looking for some day. You deserve it.

Thanks everyone, no, ain't trying to portray no fancy image, just me, experimenting around with poetry and I just put it out there, I guess I'm more sensitive to women because I have three sisters. Thanks for reading and telling me you did! I think you're all wonderful people and you ladies, don't pay me no mind, I respect each and every one of you.
