Working people,

all our lives working people,

now laid off, 

trying to stay positive,

usually staying positive,

but sometimes... 

worrying creeps in....

Working people,

all our lives working people,

worrying about money,

survival things,

like food,
mortgage or rent,

electricity, water.

Working people,

all our lives working people,

worrying about money,

parental things,

like nutritious food, clothing,

a home, health insurance,

and perhaps,

piano lessons,

hockey uniforms,

ballet classes for

our children.

Working people,

all our lives working people,

worrying about worrying 

in front of our children.

Working people,

all our lives working people,

worrying about money,

the key things,

like getting a job,

sending out resumes,

is my resume good enough?

interviewing,

sounding confident,

what should I wear

to get this job?

will the salary support

my family?

how long till I find a job?

should I accept any job or

a job that right for me?

Working people,

all our lives working people,

worrying about money,

intangible things,

like happiness, 

maintaining confidence,

giving up,

fear.

Working people,

all our lives working people,

we keep going,

one step at a time,

one step, another step,
another step,

walking, walking faster,

jogging...

and then...
we kick the worrying out.
