The Strongest Men

He gets up early
The crack of dawn reveals him
Working, working
Cup of coffee, cigarette
Sun stained face and arms
Callused hands
Show who he is
The lines in his face
Tell a story
Little pay, lot of work
Faded jeans and collared shirt
Every day, again and again

But appreciation is found
For every day
Life
Friends
Family
A bigger job than doctors or lawyers
This is more
All we owe is thank you
They are the strong few
Respect is deserved

The strongest men
