Maybe a Miracle

Whatever happened to
That side-fund we had saved
For rainy days?
Oh yes, repairs were necessary.
Bid goodbye to that outlay.
But didn’t I work extra hours
And resolve to change my ways?
Oh, yes, the medicines were costly.
There were doctor bills to pay.

The rent is due.
Utilities are soaring through the roof.
Excuses flow til I don’t know
A falsehood from the truth.
Friends are mute or
Resolute they cannot lend a note.
They seem to be in
The same sea
If not in the same boat.

No doubt these miseries will pass.
Alas, we’ll see it through.
Maybe the gods will smile
And send a miracle…
Or two.
