In a brick and mortar house
It is too easy to get lost in the upkeep
Fixing what breaks takes time
Encouraging the future gets shadowed
Leaks and cracks come first
Fostering a sense of self
In house full of others
It is too easy to get lost in the people
Others with more pressing issues
They seem to take precedence
Sick littles and bills due
A life full of maintaining things
Does not bode well for dreams
There can be no example to lead by
Hard work and diligence
That can be learned
But dreams are lost
The biggest cheerleader in town
Since it is all can be done
Dreams lost to a life drowned
In the upkeep of the everyday
