Broaden your Shoulders straighten your back for this burden is yours to bear.

You’re tired and broken down, but your family is fed.

You take the arrows of this life, but your wife is able to sleep soundly.

You confront the evil of this world, but your kids are able to be kids. 

This is what you were made for? This is your purpose? Why complain about the blessing of burden? For who would you be without them? This is your purpose, to meet this life at the breach, to shield those whom you love from the transgressions of this world.  What a blessing to bear.
