Trying Times Poem by Audrey Heller

It's not easy living in such trying times,
it becomes increasingly harder in every
way. All of us have begun to feel the
pressure, as we go from day, to day.
It's been a constant struggle, just
trying to make ends meet. However,
we're all quite determined and will
never admit defeat. We'll need to
tighten our belts for now, hoping in
time, we'll no longer feel the slack.
When that day happens, we'll more
then welcome it back! It just proves
that if we have to, we can get along,
even if it means we are put to the
test. As far as I'm concerned, this
country we live in, is still by far the
best! Now, all we need is patience,
some fortitude too. Then you can
be certain, no matter what,
somehow, we'll see this through!
