Hard Time

by Darrell Bivens

Dad left when I was five.

Lived in a two bedroom house with my brother and mom.

Sharing that with rats and roaches.

Life wasn’t easy.

Closed and opened my eyes and talked to God.

He made life better.

He made me feel like a new man.

A wiser

A stronger

A better man

I think to myself and say….hard times are hard for a moment.

But we all have them.

Life moves on.
