Another Day

The start of a new day begins so early
At least for this man 
so big so burly
I awake like a truck hit me 
the night before
Wishing I could have slept 
just and hour more
But I need to provide for my family
 so I push through
Someday I hope to relax
 and enjoy the morning dew
But until my time comes 
I will work through this struggle
So glad that I possess 
the ability to juggle
I will end by stating
 I am not alone in this thought
And as a father like many out there 
this lesson needs to be taught
We have to show our children 
what to do and what to say
But most important is to feel greatful for receiving 
another day.

Lovely poem Sean! The struggle for survival can take its toll on life but being grateful we are alive is something that should never cease, and definitely a lesson worth teaching to our offspring. Well written!
