It Isn't Only You

Life is a struggle Every single day It seems new obstacles Always get in the way Just when you think Things are going fine All of a sudden Something else is on your mind If it isn't something personal Then it has to do with money Life at times can seem to be So stressful that it's funny Just when we think We've got it made Then realize something else Has to be paid Suddenly an unforeseen bill Shows up in the mail When it does, the money is short It never seems to fail Or a family member In a financial jam Comes to you Holding out their hand You feel they think of you As some kind of bank But when you helped them in the past You didn't even get a thanks Then one day on your way to work You start to hear a strange noise The car must go to the shop You really have no choice If you put it off much longer You will pay even more It's better to get it fixed now It's nothing to ignore So you see each new day Brings another challenge or two Everyone is tested It's not only you 1-31-07/RJH © 9-24-10/RJH
