Many a lesson I learned from my father...
Like when to be strong;
When it's proper to cry
For a man grown mature in his
Nurturing ways;
How to put dignity into our days
Which are labeled and numbered
'Til fate plays it's hand;
How to put back what we
Take from the land.
But by far the greatest lesson of
all,
Taught by my father's example to me,
Was that work is a privilege,
Not a labor,
Nothing in life is for free.
Those who are hired by those
willing to pay
Have a contract, a promise to fill,
And no one should need to look over
your shoulder
To make sure you're paying the
bill.
