Love Is Enough
Love Is Enough
He sits alone on the front porch; elbows on knees and head in hands
Not a soul around at this ungodly hour to see him cry
His shaky breath is painful as he struggles through constriction
"What else can I do to get ahead"
He steps softly through the house, peeking in upon his children
thankful for their smiles and joyous play
with a somber grin, he turns away into the kitchen where
scattered statements call him; "Am I good enough?"
