Gas prices are high…

Food is too…

But paychecks are getting smaller as everyone tries to survive.

Jobs are being lost at an alarming rate…

Businesses are tumbling to their knees…

Big and small.

Everyone is feeling the pain that hard times have bred…

But I still hang on…

My head still is held high…

Because I know that in time they will pass.

It won’t be easy,

At times it might feel we might fall,

But if we keep faith in our hearts we’ll make it through it all.

Change is always at our fingertips if only we believe,

These hard times aren’t forever,

Like everything else they will pass.
