Financial Blues Poem by Donielle Smith

money is scarce as can be

our wallets and purses are just as empty

these difficult times are taking a toll on us

making our lives one big fuss

we hang on to hope

like a never ending rope

wondering when is a change going to come

realizing now that life isn't all that fun

as a family we are trying to keep food on the table

it's hard enough knowing that we're being labled

can't wait until these financial blues are in the past

wishing instead for the good times to come and forever last.
