You and me against the world

You and me against the world

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

that is the way of the world

"
It has been said Many of times
Its you and me against the world
and only the strong survive
We work for what we get in life

a penny earned is a penny saved
We need many pennies to survive
Its a working man's world
To him all the thrills

Wife and Kids safe at home
He works all day in the fields
Making his way in the world
Capturing his corner

Life can be stressful on the wife
The man's in command
Life is not easy for the man of faith
He has to face the daily grind

More his than mine
I pray to my God of heaven
For this man and wife
Whom I love and respect

For they are flesh of my flesh
and bone of my bone
I will never forsake them
or leave them to think they are alone

My God has taught me 
Love Concurs all
and The love I share
I bare my heart
