Crying

My daughters have reached
A certain age now and I,
Their father, am not afraid to
Cry with them, in front of them.

I'll not falsely shield mine
From what their father feels
And experiences now.

They may not like it, but
Better they hear and see it
From their father first
Than the real world.

They will then make
Their own decisions.

Their father isn't perfect or
All knowing, far from it.
He is a man of many faults
And inherent weaknesses.

One day little girls aren't and young women are.
And it's their fathers responsibility , duty,
To cry; to cry with them, in front of them.
