Recession

R--Resigned or laid-off from work?

E--Every wish and prayer  dedicated to job search;

C--Chopping unnecessary expenses,

S--Saving money for priotized spending__

S--Surviving the financial meltdown,

I--It was not easy to find money or food!

O--Our year of recession kept us busy with simple home jobs,

N--Necessary carefree routines.

This is a very good Acrostic poem. I know just it feels. Things just have to change, because nothing lasts forever. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
