A lifetime of hard work and sacrifice
Gone in an instant, with no way to resist
Suddenly stripped of all the security
A man left feeling helpless, his world's reality
Lost his identity, his sense of worth
No longer a provider, no longer a source of strength and support
The future seems bleak, with no direction or sign
Leaving him feeling lost and with nothing left to define
The pain is real, the struggle is hard
But through it all, there's a flicker of light
A hope for brighter days
A reminder to never give up, to never fade
For with perseverance and determination, he'll find
A way to rise above it, and make a new start in life.
So don't give in or give up, no matter how hard
Keep pushing forward, and face the challenges head on
For in the end, it's not about the fall,
But how you pick yourself back up and push on.
