I'll Walk Through This Storm With You

You can let your tears fall,

And I will always wash them away;

We have walked through many storms together

And I still stand right here,

Right by your side.

The sky might always seem so dark to you,

Let me into your heart,

And I will let the sun shine through.

I know;

The pain never goes away,

But you have my love and care,

Always.

I will hold your hand through the flashing light,

Wind,

Rain,

And storm.

I will wake in the night,

And lend you my shoulder,

While tears roll down your cheeks,

So let them say,

"Men don't cry!"

For, I'll walk through this storm with you,

Just as I always have.

There is an old saying that still exists in this world we live in, that is "Men don't cry."

I live with a man who is in pain all day and night because of painful disabilities that are not visible to the eyes of a man or woman unless you know what to look for. That man used to hide his pain, because of embarrassment caused by this old saying.

I have seen my man cry, and I want the world to know it's time we stopped shaming men for crying.

Men are human; they feel pain too, and it's never ok to tell any human being in pain, whether male or female that it isn't ok to cry.
