Not Much

A family so large, no money to spare All hand-me-down clothes and so few toys to share Couldn’t go out to eat or to dance Couldn’t go out to the movies..no chance. Finish your plate don’t leave a drop Eat all your food don’t care if it’s slop Finding a way to pay for that class Couldn’t make money, no allowance, no pass Children would laugh at us from our school They’d hit from behind, so mean, oh so cruel A family so large no money to spare Didn’t have much, didn’t cry, didn’t care Growing up with so little and nothing to give So scared that one day wouldn’t know how to live Life does take over and things fall into place If you keep on trying with a smile on your face And now all grown up no money to spare I’ll give til it hurts I’ll give all I will share. written by @
