we made do

back in the day we made do with what we had
what we could afford, what we could salvage
what we could refinish and refurbish
a free milk carton was our end table

what we created from nothing was more than enough
We did not have to have the best
we had each other, and rough living was fun
we knew we would get other things eventually
