You Never Hear Him Say

You never hear him say that life is unfair The one who does smile in the face of despair Out of work with a wife and two young children with his home mortgage to pay Many worse off than me with a smile he does say Last month the company directors of the factory he worked in closed their business down And many already out of work in a high unemployment town But like he says with life's hard times one must learn how to cope And he is not one who does give up on hope Of finding a job start though many unemployed But with his willingness to work and youth on his side Some employer will give him the job start that he does so crave It is true that good fortune does favor the brave You never hear him say that life is unfair The man who does smile in the face of despair.
