22 Year Worker I bow my head down before you The 22 year worker who lost their job at the age of 62 You worked hard all of your life, your hands are worn and torn You started this hard work before many were born And you set an example of hard work and persistence You came in day after day, sometimes with much resistance And you did what you had to do Even when you were sick and had the flu Life ain’t fair and you don’t get the respect you deserve But I tell you one day you will have no one to serve You did your work and were released Because of an economy that favors greed to beasts Many don’t deserve to have the bonuses that they take And the jet planes that they have are really fake The money should have gone to a hard worker like you You shed your tears and sweat all the years you went through Those jet planes won’t fly for long And one day you can sing a song Those callused hands of yours have made the Man above proud of you And one day your soul will take rest in His refuge, and this is true So when you took your last paycheck to your home that was gone Many people applauded your effort as your heart broke on your lawn You can keep your head up high every single day Because you did well, our friend, and we have a lot of good things to say

About the Book
There will be a day when we will have no more tears, sadness, fears, pain, and suffering. These are part of Jeremy Camp's song “,There Will be a Day.” In this powerful song Matthew listened about the burdens of earth going away some day. God is going to wipe away the tears that we have. So here we are, with our burdens and our crosses. However, there is so much joy, hope, happiness, and strength in the world. There is a lot to enjoy in this life. Until that day that Jeremy Camp tells about, we will be on this earth. We might as well seek and find the joy that is present in this world. We are all together in this world. As we go on our journeys let us not forget this. Currently Matthew is a graduate student on route to be a licensed professional counselor. Matthew tries to find joy in each day and hopes that his poems speak to you. Matthew also hopes that we all listen to, are compassionate to, as well as are empathetic to, other people in the world. We need to work together on our right paths, and with God anything is possible. We just have to listen to and follow His will. Matthew prays and hopes that when we are together on our journeys we realize our togetherness. Religion, ethnicity, size, gender, and distance do no separate us from the love of each other. Our Higher Power, whatever Great Power that may be, in Matthew's case, Jesus Christ, keeps us on the right path. We are all human and will falter, but Jesus calls us back to Him with open arms to a life of complete fulfillment.
