Working Class Heroes

The world is full of working class heroes Made up of every gender, shape and size. Inspiring everyone, their strength bestows They become the backbone of enterprise. My father was my working-class hero He passed on his ethics, in his workshop. Urging each person to learn and to grow Without them, trade will slow, maybe stop. Working class heroes all make the world run Stand side by side, sometimes on bended knee With pride in their work, as fathers have done The spine of humanity, you’ll agree. As they stand tall, waiting, learning their trade Working class heroes are lovingly made.
