For just this once

By kittycatds

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I hold my head high But wonder why Each day I say This will be the week This time my bills will be paid This time my frig will be full This time I will gain weight This time my kids will be fine This time… But each time I am knocked down Plan after plan Day after day And I wonder why But still I hold my head high Each time I get knocked I cry, but then dry my eyes Each time I get behind I sigh, but plan again Each time I lose faith I pray, and than hope again This time, this time I ask For things to go right For plans to follow through For life to be simple For my children to be feed For my bills to be paid For it not to hurt so much For my family For me For just this once… Written January 8th, 2002 © on Jan 08 2002 04:34 AM PST   0 • 12
