in 10 years...

I wondered what life would be like
at 28
I’d have a
great job
great house
a beautiful wife
and maybe kids

no worries
life would be so easy
when I was independent
on my own
free

I wonder what life is really like
at 28
I’m blessed to have a
great job
great house
a beautiful wife
and a gift of a kid

but there have been worries
~I’ve left my job and my home
~held tight to my wife
~as we’ve lost two kids
~struggled to pay the rent
~make ends meet
~and sleep through the night
life has not been easy
now that I’m independent
on my own
but thankfully not alone
