He loved his dog,
but of course
he loved his
wife more.

A few years
later his wife
no longer loved him
and left him for
another man.

His dog remained
faithful and stayed
with him until
his dog died.

Sometimes a dog
is better
more loving,
more truthful,
more faithful
than a spouse.

Some call him a common man.
He’s more than that.
He builds the cities.
He repairs the cars and trucks.
He labors in the factories.
He works on the farms.
He does all the jobs
the rich don’t have to do.
He’s a patriot.
He’s not protesting
or hating his country.
He serves in the military
often given his life
for his beloved country.
He’s the nuts and the bolts
of all countries in the world
putting everything together
maintaining and repairing
and keeping it all
clean and in good
operational condition.
He’s the soul and
the heart of his country
We’d be nowhere without
the everyday man.
Hail to him and
everyday men everywhere.

Some women
ridiculed her
because she
chose to be
a traditional wife
staying home
cooking meals
having kids
attending church
loving her family

The women who
ridiculed her
had no husbands
worked insane
career hours
thought they
were superior
to her being
just a stay at
home wife
thought she
sold out to
being only a
wife and doing
what she wanted
in life

Maybe what
she did in
being just a
wife raising
kids right
was more
important
in this life
than trying to
be more and
buy more
and having
less time to
raise kids
right.
