What Will You Do
~ By Sue ~

Life is not always what you make it
Sometimes it is just thrown at you
There are those who try so hard
They can not win, no matter what they do

You walk the streets everyday
Trying to get a job, just to survive
Hitting dead ends everywhere you go
And you wonder, why should I try

The closer it gets to the end of the month
You wonder where you will be
When there is no money for the rent
Knowing you can not live there for free

The bills keep coming to you
And you wonder, what will you do?

this scares me, more than you can know,
really relevant these days of questioning
the ball and chain of routine

Sue,

You captured well, the plight of many, in your poem. People from all walks of life face this very real problem.

Often, we must change our mode of living to accomodate our lowered income. From renting a room from someone, to renting out a room to someone, to becoming self-employed to working for room and board, to however imaginative we can get. It does work out one way or the other. And doesn't mean it has to stay that way forever.

Hugs, Pat

Thank you, yes life at times gets tough and many risk to get depressed because of lack of money.
Very well expressed.
Love, Margherita

Sue, you hang in there and you search and you don't give up. You have carried yourself this far; you can go a little more.

We will pray and you keep going.

Huggles dear one ... Marti
