I was once a hardworking man.

I was once a hardworking man.

A Poem by Chandler bing

I was once a hardworking man

I was once a hardworking man,
It wasn't too long ago,
When I did all sorts of thing at one go,
But now I feel meagre and exhausted,
Not wanting to face my present,
I remembered my past.

Past

I used to cut wood from the trees,
And sell them in a nearby street,
I also worked in a paper mill,
Earning my way through hefty bills,
After slogging all day,
I would hike back all the way.

In the morning,
Rejuvenated from yesterday's batter,
I would get ready for today's battle,
Again slogging all the day,
I would hike all the way.

In the morning,
When the dawn would break over,
I would find my self in a clover,
Satisfied with my life as it was,
I would pray to god.
