One hand holds my coffee-cup,
While one hand holds the wheel,
I drive myself to work each day,
But what is the appeal?

I listen to my clientele,
Who often have a gripe,
I try to please them when I can,
But they just want to fight.

It seems they're never satisfied,
Although I give my time,
And then when all is said and done,
I hardly make a dime.

I wonder if it's worth it, that
I work here all day long,
For when I think that I've done right,
Some think that I've done wrong.

But it is for my wife and kids,
I work here everyday,
And do the things that I must do,
To make a little pay.

And when I see my children, with
A smile upon each face,
I know the reason that I work,
And why I run the race.

I love your title...and the fact that you define so much of the value in your work by what it means to your family. So many come home from the 'rat race' and take out their frustrations on their family!

I like this and it's so true! Anthony
