At six I catch the evening train

In tune with the endless rainÂ
A sad refrain the sidewalk sings .Â
Umbrellas open black and webbed
Like a bats unfurled wings.Â
Moving to travel the city streets
Where hearts are tiredÂ
Too tired to sleep.Â
Far above my laptop fades
As in the torrents I must wade.Â
But in a train ride short and sweet
I have a family to greetÂ
With children laughing by the door
A dog that dances on the floor
And at the back my patient Wife
Handling all of our daily life.Â
With rising bills and tightened money
She kisses me with a " love you Honey. "
My heart relaxes.all burdens unfurledÂ
And all's worthwhile in my tiny world
judes note
the anthem of a working man.Â

I have great respect for the working man, especially when the end result is caring for his family, my dad worked hard all his life and provided for us all, he never had any money but always fed us and put clothes on our backs.
Great poetry Jude.
