Unemployed
No pay
Long hours
Sunrise to sunset
Most days my son joined
So when I was fired
And he couldn’t come to the office any more
He asked why
What happened?
There wasn’t much to say
“You were loved every moment you spent in the office”
There was no need to explain that
Loving her was the best job I’d ever had
Now I pick up work here and there
But I’d rather no pay
And let my son know
who I spend time with

I think the relationship between father and son is most important. Men and boys face incredible challenges in our current version of “society”, but I will never apologize for recognizing the reality that men do yeoman’s work to build the world and keep it running, and you, Ryan, are showing how it is done. God bless you.
Laura, that was incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much. This comment made my night <3
