Poem Title:
Poem
A father of five a husband to one Family comes first second to none I strive to be great at whatever I do I am destine to leave good impressions on you I have traveled a road bumpy at times I got through my pain with a few snazzy lines I have used paper as a counselor for quite a while I have even masked pain with a slightly fake smile Inside I feel as though I am misunderstood I hate feeling bad I want to feel good But I wake up every day with the same outlook on life I have my 4 kids and a beautiful wife She helps me remember why I am alive My boys give me strength needed to get up and drive Family has been my biggest accomplishment to date When it comes to being there for them I am never late Although at times I struggle to for reasons to live I continue to look for ways I can give I have recently met men who would kill to have what I do I have recently learned there always someone in a worse place than you I yet continue to struggle and plainly understand How life becomes all about money and its demand Without money there is no freedom even in the USA But yet people jump the borders even as bad as it is today Our economy holding no punches knocking many families out Leaving even our government filled with doubt So why keep striving why stand tall My wife and kids, I won’t let them fall I refuse to be a victim of stress and depression I will keep fighting my way through this recession Although they say it over it doesn’t appear that way to me I want to believe the American dream is still possible for me
