Cost of Living

The cost of living is continuing to rise
With hard up family's there is no surprise.

To admit you are struggling you might feel shame
Unable to survive you hide the pain

To pay your bills is just one task that's hard to beat
The choice we have is to heat or eat.

But prices will still rise and families will survive
By tighting their belts and getting on with their lives.
