STRUGGLE

Sometimes it’s a struggle
when bills are piling up and
money is tight.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
to get out of bed on a cold,
cold morning.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
not to scream when we see
a grand kid drinking too much.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
to stay awake when we are
waiting for the kids to get home.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
when a baby is sick
and we don’t know what it is.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
when both people in a marriage
are self-centered and hurting.

Sometimes it’s a struggle
when we’re caught in traffic
with some pretty stupid drivers.
