Tears of Men

Are they wet? I know they are not dry, What are tears that grown men cry. Are they just water and bodily waste? What are these tears that I wipe from my face? They sometimes pour like a babbling stream, That is when my heart lets out its screams. Sometimes they drizzle like a soft fall rain, The tears of love bring such sweet pain. I sit here in wonder and dare to ask "Why?". "Why do tears flow from my reddening eyes?" The answer eludes me so again I ask why, Why do tears flow from grown mens eyes? We shed tears when happy, and again when we're sad. We shed them in sorrow and rememberance of times we've had. This question cannot be answered, I realized with a sigh. "Why do tears flow from a grown mans eyes?"
