Gratitude

The sun rises in the east The farmers wake at dawn Ready for a day of hard work under the sun They plow , they harvest They plant and plant Without rest The foundation of society The heart of our country what thanks do they get?

The world spins on an axis People wake and fall asleep Many far far away from their beloved families In US and Saudi Malaysia and UAE OFWs work hard to earn money Hard earned money blown away By their own families what thanks do they get?

Teachers walk around the school Ready to teach Checking and grading From 7 to 3 5 days of the week Teachers walk around the school Ready to teach Checking and grading Hoarse voices and aching feet Enduring it all While the children dont appreciate What they see What thanks do they get?
