I Will Not Cry

I have put in poetry the lines I wrote in prose earlier this morning.



I Will Not Cry
By Larry Linville
I will not cry (sniff) oops I just did
I’m trying so hard to hold it in.

Going to a happy event
as a very proud grandparent.

Going with anticipation
of granddaughter’s graduation.

I will cry because I am sad
but I am also very glad.

I cry because I’m happy too
for all the things she will do.

They say men aren’t supposed to cry
but that is just a great big lie.
