You’re my provider- aren’t you?
Head of household mighty and strong.
Sweat making your body glisten from a hard day of work,
Pain shooting through every muscle and joint as you lifted the weight of providing, surviving and striving for your family.

You are my provider- aren’t you?
The one that milks me down with communication and understanding.
That clothes me in love and security, never having to wonder “what if”
You are my provider- aren’t you?
The one that is brave enough to protect me and gentle enough to hold me.
The one that will swallow your pride before we go without,
The one that carries a load one step at a time and when it can’t be done will say so.

You are my provider- aren’t you?
Aren’t you?
My feet ache from the road I’ve been traveling.
My back aches from the load I’ve been carrying.
Not only have I been carrying me but I’ve been carrying you.

I am your provider- aren’t I?
