Hard Work
As I work in the brightness of day
As the muck and fog fade away
I see what I have done
A masterpiece in the sun
But all the day that I have perked
My dad was still at work
For he supports without a sway
And keeps the taxes up to pay
It is hard to be all alone
But he keeps us in a home
He might have lost his way
But that doesn’t make him stray
For he is bright and proud
Nothing can stop him not even a cloud
He may not work in labor
But he still has to take care of our neighbor
For he is a mess
And a real pest
But this is my dad he doesn’t care
All that matters is that life ahead may be fare
As life goes on all fades away
But just as my Father starts to fade away
I got to think of the day
That I had made this masterpiece
As my dad joins my mom in eternal peace
