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 favour the brave
You never hear him say that life is  unfair
The man who does smile in the face of  despair.
