This Painting

A rough and tumbled man I was,                                                                                                                                                 I worked by land and sea.                                                                                                                                                          The fields kept me busy,                                                                                                                                                                           I toiled the land for food for my family.                                                                                                                     My love was the sea,                                                                                                                                                                                     a place were I could rest my weary soul.                                                                                                                                         I was known through out our small town,                                                                                                     my cap was my personal style.                                                                                                                                                           I may have had a rough look,                                                                                                                                                               but my heart was solid love.                                                                                                                                   My work is now all done,                                                                                                                                                                                       I can watch over the ones that I truly love.

So many rough looking characters - both men and women apply to this line "I may have had a rough look, my heart was solid love. "
