For all the time spent in toil
\nI can’t but help to feel the spoil
\nOf body and mind and all my resolve
\nYet here I stand, unbroken<\/p>\n
When day light fades, I feel the shade
\nCover my aching frame
\nI sigh in relief at days end
\nYet here I stand, unbroken<\/p>\n
Where is rest beyond the plight
\nOf unending days spent in toil
\nOf nights lost to pain and fitful sleep
\nAnd there I lay, unstirred<\/p>\n
Upon cocks crow I rouse unrendered
\nTo face the day, rest left untendered
\nYesterday’s trial still within me
\nYet here I stand, unbroken<\/p>\n
Though I long for quieter days
\nAnd nights not spent in angst
\nThe prospect of tomorrow biting my feet
\nAnd there I lay, unstirred<\/p>\n
The value of what my body endures
\nSpoils not the value of my toil
\nIt gives value I cannot enumerate
\nYet here I stand, unbroken<\/p>\n
