Work For Home

Work For Home

A brighter smile they could not be

When your team you daily have to see

A deeper frown is forever drawn

The moment you reach your home's lawn

You couldn't catch more bees with that sweetness

You have left it for family, oh this bitterness

No problem you will do it, in every meeting you say

As the dishes lay dirty waiting for you everyday

With every congratulation and new responsibility

You ignore more family time or bonding opportunity

Oh c'mon, your badge of busyness is so heavy

If not you, who will understand me, my dearie

But soon your hip will be wider and pockets deeper

Little ones joining the race and home growing quieter

Suddenly your back will be weaker and your boss younger

Old friends busier, your opinion less sought after

So I say, decline that meeting the world will move on

Surprise your family with some tickets, this very dawn

This is my last warning for I am time, let be your tomb

“He didn’t work for a bigger house, just worked for a happy home”
