Pray For the Working Man

Pray for the Working Man The one with calloused hands Who has often been forgotten On the roadside of life's demands The one that's seen faltering At every juncture, every step The one that seems to get it But hasn't got it yet Pray for the Working Man As he fights for what little's left Doing daily battles With the thoughts inside his head In what alone he would have been Or in the past he could have said So that his quotas are met Pray for the Working Man

Yes the working man is definitely worthy of all the good fortune he can possibly get. He certainly does work hard.

Love this, Mike. I always had a "thing" for strong, calloused-handed men.
