Description
He is a very simple man
Trying to take care
Of his wife and kids
A man clinging to pride
What little he has left
Everyday is a battle
Trying to make ends meet
The stress hurts his head
The fear crushes his heart
He just wants them to be proud of him
But its hard to be proud
When they walk in
And catch you counting change

LOL! Well said!
poignant and definitely realistic, been there myself a time or three, counting out the change for milk and bread.
I know what you are talking about, my husband is without work since March last year and can't find work because of his heart condition. He feel exactely the way you discribe. It's hard today to day to care about a family! Hugs Ute

OH, haven't we all been there, done that. But it makes it so much more real when you add in the family mix, very nicely said, Randy!!
Well said. I remember the days when I was that poor. I never wanted anyone to know how bad it was. Your words have taken me back, my friend!
I've always enjoyed your writings. You hit the proverbial nail on the head. OFTEN. My BEST to you and yours. T.P.
WOW...This is a powerful piece that strikes very close to home. You have your finger on the pulse of reality and emotion in this one, especially the difference (or similarities) between the two. Fantastic stuff here! I like it quite a lot.
WELL said.
