I watch day in and day out
you hard at work
somber, aching muscles
grim brow
and strained voice
working, providing
dredging up a living
because you love us
too much to enjoy us
This holiday I watched you
all the long, muggy days
hard at play
exhausting strong muscles
careless grin
and hearty laugh
hiking, playing
teaching about living
because you love us
allow yourself to enjoy us.
