In need of help

But don’t know where to turn?

Charity is there,

They won’t let you burn.

They can help you with food,

To feed your family,

Don’t be ashamed

They do it thankfully.

Times are tough for some

Work through it, get the help

Be a good mum.

They will help with bills

As well as food,

I know this place well

And your mood is

Just brood.

If you don’t get help

You will be screwed.

They will get you by

With what you need,

You are doing this

So, you can eat.

Day by day

Take it as it comes

Soon you be out of

The slums.
