There- My Upright Stand Rests On Solid Rock

No day have I ever work with the clock, Come sun; come moon to running time's relay... There- my upright stand rests on solid rock. While sun shines; upon my sweats, my hands knock... Wealth's door at health's risk- foot bills I delay. No day have I ever work with the clock. Boys are not stones; men are not rock to mock, If demands can't be met despite survey, There- my upright stand rest on solid rock. Honor men: burden carriers that unlock, Scary box of obligation's dismay... No day have I ever work with the clock. Appreciate strength, will and pain men block. Happy world international men's day! There- my upright stand rest on solid rock. With hope to meet up everyday's house stock, And wish peace and health not be led astray. No day have I ever work with the clock, There- my upright stand rests on solid rock.
