'Don'T Cry' Poem by Jean Evans

♥ DON'T CRY.. ♥

♣ MY DADDY TOLD US BEFORE HE SAID GOODBYE,

♣ DON'T YOU WORRY AND DON'T YOU CRY.

♥ BUT HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR TEARS IN PLACE,

♥ WHEN THE ONE YOU LOVE JUST CAN NOT STAY?

♣ HE HAD TO LEAVE AND THIS TIME I COULDN'T GO

♣ I WANTED TO CRY BUT COULDN'T LET IT SHOW.

♥ MY DADDY WAS THE GREATEST OF ANY MAN,

♥ SO THIS IS ONE THING IN LIFE I JUST DIDN'T PLAN.

♣ I TRIED TO HOLD BACK THE TEARS IN MY EYES,

♣ BUT THE PAIN WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HIDE.

♥ THE MAN I HAVE RESPECTED FOR SO LONG,

♥ THE MAN I CHERISHED AND LOVED IS GONE.

♣ I TRIED MY DADDY JUST FOR YOU,

♣ NOT TO CRY, BUT I WAS JUST TO BLUE.

♥ I KNOW DADDY, YOU'LL BE OK,

♥ BUT I STILL MISS YOU MORE EVERY DAY.

♣ AND AS I THINK OF YOU BOTH DAY AND NIGHT,

♣ I'LL TRY MY BEST DADDY NOT TO CRY! !
