Just Do It

Many parents, at tough times, work two jobs
Never once do we muffle self pitiful sobs
We do it because it's important to others at the time
Being selfless for years is certainley no crime

We don't look for public praise or the hall fame
Devotion to our families is our well earned claim
Vacation is an unspoken word during these years
As we listen to talk of trips and fun from our peers

Once we get older and look back with a sly grin
On the merry-go-round of work we took a serious spin
We are often blessed by seeing the sucess of those we love
Due in part by our hard work combined with grace from above

I'm indeed grafeful for those two job years
With a clean and peaceful conscience I grin ear to ear
