As the days grow gloomy, I still continue to have my faith
Faith outweighs any struggle
But struggling often comes too much as a second hand nature
No one knows about how hard it is because in the end there is still a smile
You may have never experienced hard work for yourself
But with a family to work for its challenging
Especially everyday when you're trying, dealing with irate people and the constant attack on yourself
We might know that person that wears the same clothes or
That friend that can't put food on the table
All you want to do is help
But we break down inside and let tears come to our eyes because of the funds that we can't provide
While steadily knowing that
Blessings linger in the shadow just when you're about to give up
Although it never crossed you're mind to do so
Because of the constant tug of war with the happiness and struggle
Yes, daydreams, daybreaks come when weary eyes, blistered feet, and wounded arms, are continuously working without a break
It hurts after a while, like two 50 lb weights have been on your shoulders for hours--- so why keep going because there is a smile you want to see on somebody's face
Even though your frowning inside
Yea, it's not fair but that's life
We should have more happy days than struggling days
The struggle is trying to break free from these chains that have been built to hold you down
But you will soon get up
Looking at a brighter day
Knowing that it was there all along
With the smile you once knew you had that you can pass along and look back with the restraints released
Yelling "I did it and I'm forever blessed"
