HAPPY LABOR DAY! " LABOR OF LOVE"
~*LABOR OF LOVE*~
Torry & Carol Anne
ALL BREADWINNERS ON LABOR DAY 09'
Work! Work! Work!
That's all I do.
~
To make ends meet.
With a buck or two.
*
Gas prices up.
I'll catch a ride.
~
My cloths are holey.
I'll patch and hide.
*
Bills are piling
Up to the sky!
~
Uncle Sam
Needs a piece of the pie.
*
Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Juggling figures big and small.
~
The kids are yelling
For the newest toy.
*
Buying her flowers.
Mom gleams with joy.
~
Changing a diaper.
Or erecting steel.
*
These hands of mine
Obey my will.
~
Food on the table.
All bills are paid.
*
Putting aside
The plans I made.
~
Dreaming the Browns
Will catch the ball.
*
And before I die
They will win it all!
~
Hit the snooze!
As time slips by.
*
And snuggle up
To the reason why.
~
I'll work today.
And then tomorrow.
*
And maybe even
Have to borrow.
~
But I thank
The dear Lord above.
*
To me this work
Is A Labor Of Love....
