The Working Man

He wakes every morning before the rooster crows 
He gets up and puts on his work clothes 
He moves a little slower 
His smile hangs a little lower 
He knows he’s getting older 
He can feel it in his shoulders 
Not one to complain
He works through the pain 
He doesn’t mind 
It’s all part of the daily grind 
He does what he does 
All for the ones he loves
