The Have's And Have Not's

Always remember All that you've got Because there are so many Who have not They all struggle Just to make ends meet Just hoping each day They have some food to eat They hope the night Won't be too cold They have no heat No hope to hold Every day another test Just trying to survive Some days they are so numb They don't know if they're alive But they push on Because they believe That one day They may achieve So don't complain Because of things you lack At least you always have A soft mattress under your back Always remember All that you've got Don't forget those Who have not For one day The tables could be turned You may become a have not With a hard lesson learned 1-27-18/RjH
