Honerable Man

Honorable Man

What are the makings of a good family man?
Must he always show and do the best he can?
You see my Dad never gambled, cheated, or lied.
Always faced his many burdens and never cried.

What are the makings of a good family man?
All though it was a struggle from day after day.
To feed and raise his family with his little pay.
When I was a young boy I did not understand.

How all my friends kept riches in their hand.
So what are the makings of a good family man?
As my memories take me back now I can see.
Dad's burdens were great he stood like a tree.

Do all these assets make a good family man?
Before me lies Dad that very same family man.
Dad always put his family first no matter what.
He worked every day for a laborer's small pay.
