Today I saw… <br />A grown man, he cried <br />I wanted to say the hurt would go away <br />But I knew if I did I would lie <br /> <br />His grief stricken face seemed so displaced <br />It was though someone had died <br />I knew not what else to do <br />So I sit down right there at his side <br /> <br />Sometimes words… <br />Just sometimes don’t need to be heard <br />I placed the palm of my hand over his hand <br />And somehow I could feel the hurt <br /> <br />He sighed for a moment and dried his eyes <br />Said thank you for all that it’s worth <br />Sometimes when you cry, someone at your side <br />Is all that you need on this earth <br /> <br />I saw the old man, I saw him cry <br />I saw a grown man, he cried today <br />And somehow I found, he left something with me <br />Today when he walked away <br /> <br />Sometimes in this life when we find <br />We just need to have a good cry <br />Sometimes on this earth, for all that it’s worth <br />We just need someone at our side.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-saw-him-cry/
