I cry because I am glad
or don’t like what I’ve had

Mommy said
it’s because I want my own way
but is that so bad a few times a day

I cry because I am sad
or perhaps because I am mad

Daddy said
it’s because I don’t want
to listen to a word he says

But I say otherwise
because only I know why I cry
