Gut Tag :D

When is it that you realize,
that time once used, forever dies.

Why is that each waking day,
is used to ensure you get your pay.

At month's end - you jump in glee,
"I worked for it, I have it now, yipee!!"

You went to school and toiled for hours,
For what.... to have hot showers?

Or was it, so that you have a house
plush and cosy, no louse or mouse....

or wait.... you wanted a family
somebody by your side eternally.


They are at home now as you work
all your responsibilities to them you shirk

You only want them to have the best,
a lovely home, a cosy nest.

Yet when your son jumps to greet you,
your first words to him are "shoo, shoo..

I have to work, my son - please go,
by now this is something you should know!"

The heart attack is sharp and quick,
it brings him down like a brick.

In the ambulance he cries, "my work still waits!"
the siren blares his dire straits

"It's ok Sweetie", he hears his wife
"I'm here for you, for the rest of your life".

Where did it all go to....
The dreams and wishes he once knew,

How did it all come down to this?!
Losing sight of life's true bliss,

The family he yearned for in his youth,
Were near him now at his moment of truth.

He should have given them much more....
Yes, himself - not the money, that's for sure!
