A father never quits

His hands are worn

 

Calloused and sore

 

His arms are muscled

 

His legs look torn

 

I see a trickle of blood from a nail

 

His skin so burnt

 

But his stomach so pale

 

His eyes look tired

 

His body moves slow

 

He works so hard

 

If only we knew

 

Everyday he goes back for more

 

The sun beaming down

 

His boots are worn

 

He is so tired

 

Yet he never quits

 

Because he's a man

 

And he will always provide for his kids.

 

when you hear people talking about being a man

 

Look at my husband cause he represents,

 

All those hard working loyal dads


He don't look for recognition

 

Because he doesn't need it.

 

He will always step up

 

No matter how down he feels

 

Because he's got three boys

 

 And he will always be their dad.
