Happy One Day

Mother and daughter
Clinging to one another
Happy one day
Maybe
Will there be
Enough food to eat
And shoes 
For her feet

Father and son
Clinging to one another
Happy one day
Maybe
Doing all he can
To protect and
Provide
For his family

So sad how so many live on the edge of poverty. It's not right. Love your poem, Timothy.

G'day Timothy … apart from survival, so many have nothing else and yet they keep going - thanks Timothy - Lindsay
