He Carries It To Work
~ By Sue ~

Does he really think I am such a fool
Or that I do not know the real reason
Why he left the way he did that day
He insisted on drinking each day
From morning to night he would drink
Staying out until late at night
One or two times I locked him out
It did not stop him from drinking
He drank even more after that
With an ice chest in his old truck
He carries it to work each day
Complaining that he can not breath
Sometimes he says he can not sleep
Or that he feels so tired
Still, he drinks, drinks and drinks
He does not wait until he is at home
He drinks while driving down the road

Cold hands means a warm heart
