You Do Keep The Faith Poem by Francis Duggan

For many years life for you an uphill fight
And nothing you do ever seems to go right
The Lady of Luck is not smiling your way
You find it a struggle to live on low pay
With a wife and two young children you struggle to get by
On a poverty line income though hard you do try
To find a better paying job there are none about
Though financially down you do leave none in doubt
That you are not happy in your poverty
And financially things will get better for you and for your family
Since a better paying job you are determined to find
You refuse to surrender to despair of the mind
With hope for the future you do keep the faith
It is true that all good things come to those who do wait.
