Horse and the Wagon

That's where men get preoccupied, 

In-between the horse and the wagon, 

For his family he must provide, 

Learning from a father who is gone. 

Driving a horse is going to work, 

The wagon is the house he lives in, 

Beautiful homes equal overwork, 

A man is torn in-between where he's been. 

Waking up to work every morning, 

Coming home tired every night,   

Love for your family keeps you going, 

Life indeed is a battlefield, just fight. 

Take a man to the mountains, 

Brand new ideas he will birth, 

He'll be back with new fountains,

A man is from the dust of the earth. 

Sometimes balancing the 2 is hard, 

Keeping both work and family happy, 

Fighting for your country, and being a family guard, 

In-between you find a lonely daddy.
