"Trouble don’t Last Always"


Times were hard for me and my mother She was found raising me by herself for a few years I love her to death no one will ever replace her Eviction notices in your mailbox Repossession people at the driveway 12:00 am taking away your cars Struggling, living pay check to pay check But mom never lost her faith she always believed in God She would always tell me trouble won’t last always I never imagined going to private school At least when I was young But God had a plan for me and my mother He brought to me my step dad We still struggled But it was better than having to eat oodles and noodles every night for a month Playing basketball helped me be able to afford Calvert hall I remembered the words of my mom “Trouble don’t last always” We are not the richest people in the world now But we are not as bad as we use to be I know God has a plan For me and my family Trouble don’t last always
