A poor person from a poor background,
to his family and work hes always bound.
10p an hour keeps the hunger at bay,
his brothers and sisters constantly pray.
Money and food was always an issue,
but this person would come home without the tissues,
not a single tear left his eyes,
this poor person was certainly wise.
a smile on his face whenever he came back,
he'd come home and put down his rucksack.
take the few coins he'd earned in the day,
then for his brothers and sisters he'd pay.
He was determined to get them food,
even if his bosses were really rude.
he paid no heed to their cruel words,
but instead listened to the birds.
there song so beautiful like music to his ears,
when listening to them he'd forget his fears.
