A Working Man

A Working Man

A Poem by Nanette M. Buchanan

What a wonderful thing it is to be in love, in love with someone who shares and works with you for the same purpose and goals

A Working Man

I need a working man, one willing to work beyond the hours of nine to five,
I need a man to work with me right by my side.

I clean house, raise children, and one can imagine the rest.
I then get myself prepared for a nine to five that's condescending,
giving it my best.

This man I have envisioned will share in these responsibilities
He would never think I am superwoman leaving it all on me.

What we could accomplish together, the heights that we would climb
This dream of working together should be as much his as it is mine.

When he begins to brag or boast about who we have become
I won't feel he thinks he's the "only" knowing what we both have done.

Most men who answer my question, telling the work they do
In turn commonly question me, "And what about you?"

The minute they ask this I know they won't fit the bill.
So that leaves me looking for a working man....still.
