One Tear At A Time Poem by kevin woods

Swelled puffy eyes,
Tear stained pillow,
Cheeks wet from tear drops running down my face.

But let's get one thing straight..
I am a man!
A real man,
A ladie's man,
That get up early in the morning
beat my chest like Tarzan man.

I'm not a wimp,
Weak sucker that always cries...
I'm just a strong concious brother
That believes in one tear at a time.

I admit, I often cry at night.
In my sleep or at times when I recieve
News that's dear to me.

I recall salty tasting tear drops
Very warm to the touch
A sign that reminds me that
I miss my grandmom so much.

I recall grandmom telling me that
Crying was the weight removed,
Shesaid the more you cry
The more better you'll become inside.
An old folks tale
I really don't know because it was times
That I cried, cried and cried
And couldn't let go...
