Description

He is a very simple man Trying to take care Of his wife and kids A man clinging to pride What little he has left Everyday is a battle Trying to make ends meet The stress hurts his head The fear crushes his heart He just wants them to be proud of him But its hard to be proud When they walk in And catch you counting change

Well said. I remember the days when I was that poor. I never wanted anyone to know how bad it was. Your words have taken me back, my friend!

WOW...This is a powerful piece that strikes very close to home. You have your finger on the pulse of reality and emotion in this one, especially the difference (or similarities) between the two. Fantastic stuff here! I like it quite a lot.
