To All The Men...

To every man out there, we recognize your efforts
I've always heard that it's not okay for a man to cry
Every single time our limits situations and people try
We cry in secret and when it's dawn, our tears we quickly dry
We go through the knife just to make ends meet
We do what's necessary just for our family to smile
The cold, the sweat but we do them with joy for the sake of love
Our strength is admirable too just as our heart
We act tough but deep down we care for others on earth
Life didn't come with manual and we managed to live the life
We learn on the job while delivering our best
A special shout out to all the men out there
A day is never enough to appreciate your love and sacrifices
It often goes overlooked and sometimes unattended to
Still, we press, still we push, still we keep doing what we can
To us, it's never about the applause or the recognition
It's the desire to feel responsible and living up to the responsibilities
Our strength, our pride, our ego and our large heart
They all make us who we are and for that, we don't stop
Happy International celebration day to all the men out there
For your sacrifices that often get little attention
For your love that doesn't get spoken of as much as it should
For your desire to be the best and give the best
You are the real MVPs and your efforts will pay off
Keep setting the trail and the pace while being a worthy example to follow

The men are going through a lot, seeing a lot and doing a lot too and like you said, they are often overlooked and taken for granted most of the time. This is the time to appreciate every man out there and not just today but today should mark the beginning of daily appreciation of their sacrifices and strength. They are special.

I agree with this and share your sentiments. It's not easy being a man just as the women would say it's not easy being a woman. Each gender with their values. I celebrate all the men out there too.

Men don't cry, I don't understand why we had that culture. What do they expect? Men doesn't had emotions?

Crying is one way of releasing stress and heartbaches.

Thank you so much, Lhes. It's weird to think men don't cry or need to cry because they want us to show courage and strength. Tears are proof of strength because it takes courage to admit to one's emotions. We definitely have emotions too.

This is for you and all the men who are responsible for taking care of their families. Those who respect and protect their women, who take care of their children's interests, and most importantly, who manage to be an inspiration to someone. It's not because of how much money and property you have in comparison, but because respect requires a steadfast heart.
Never run away from problems. That's simply showing how irresponsible you are, no matter what your circumstances are. Be an example, so others can follow your lead.

This is beautiful. It's about the responsibility and not about the amount of money. Thank you so much for this lovely comment as usual.
