Pockets
We're worn from worry,
Salvation Army gives us dinner,
we tried to get by, but, we've gotten thinner,
it's our family's first time here,
it's sad to see my parent's eyes red
from tears,
a month ago they lost their jobs
because of Covid,
volunteers smile, we're all filing
in quiet, even us kids,
I just saw two siblings of another
family put biscuits in their pockets,
hoping no one would see,
I understand that now,
I really do,
I just put biscuits in my pockets too.
