I Cried Today

by upnorthdavid

I cried today, and it's okay In hindsight now, I can't fall prey To doubt and fear, or dark dismay Their dreary biddings to obey * I cried today, it's tough to say Just why I cried, I can't convey: Emotions come, and sometimes stay Or leave quite fast, like runaways * I cried today, my feet of clay Were showing, yes, in full display! Life's glory moments, bright and gay Can turn when "Yes!" is changed to "Nay!" * I cried today, but I'm okay I cry sometimes, and on a day The tears are there, I feel this way Just know I'm fine, e'vn when I'm gray * by David C Rogers 8-24-18

David grew up in Mexico. He brings a unique perspective to life in rural Michigan. Most of his poems are written spontaneously, as things catch his attention or humor him. Some of his pieces are lighthearted while others broach deeper subjects. Coffee, DIY projects, and writing are his passion. Most his poems are structured, but he does enjoy writing free verse writing from time to time.

My wife found me crying in the garage, just a quick moment missing my dad. Wanted her to know it was ok.
