A Simple Choice

Should I pay this 
Or should I buy that
Never had to choose before
But thats where my life's at

Should I buy food for my children
Or turn back on the heat
I worry most about their empty stomachs 
But a warm house for a change,sure sounds sweet

Maybe some shoes that fit them
So they can go back to school
I don't dare send them with what they have now
Seems classmates can be so cruel

But my children are healthy
Beautiful and strong
it's not wealth that will make you happy
it's been the richness of family,all along
