~hard Times~ Poem by Tracie Brown

Going though hard times and I can't escape. Lord please bring me to a better place
Bills are late, creditors on my back and I have all kinds of notices in a stack
Kids are crying, needing something to eat and I can't even offer them a piece of bread and don't have any meat.
My check is late, haven't paid the rent and I don't have one cent
Car won't start, things are looking a mess and I'm even feeling pains in my chest
Is it stress? Is life weighing me down? I can't even pull myself up off the ground.
I'm at the lowest point of my life
and I had to fight against Poverty all my life.
I refuse to stay in Hard Times another Day
And I know there's a better way.
God wouldn't allow me to go through this without me overcoming
So I know God is up to something.
The test I'm going through is not easy for me but God will come and rescue me.
He will bring me out of Hard Times
and bring me to a place where I owe no man not one dime.
I will be debt free and free from the bondage of poverty
and Hard Times will never come back to visit me.
