Tough Times

Tough Times 
Tell me, tell me …silently I holler 
  how can I gain another dollar?!

“Maybe today” …everyday I say
   be a miracle at last to pay

I stand upon the path of will
 the door is locked before me still

I know not where the key be hidden
  within my mind somewhere

Its flat and green with words of mean
  yet not my dreams be given

Firmly I stand before the door so far
  with hope in hand to bring a jar

“Maybe today” I still do say
   there’s nothing more to do but stay 
…and pray …for the day

Awaiting tomorrows promise

-Eileen P Carry
