What Would You Do?

What would you do,
In this situation,
That your family faced,
Such devastation?

What would you do,
If your father was in need?
I don't think it's even,
Considered a good deed!

What would you do,
If there was no money to pay?
Too bad, not my prob!
Is that what you'd say?

What would you do,
With no food on the table?
Wouldn't you help,
as much as you're able?

What would you do,
Would you act mature?
Even if giving,
Is so not your nature?

What would you do,
If you wanted your money?
But the family's situation,
Was really not funny?

What would you do,
If you were stingy your life thru,
But your father really needed,
Help from you?

What would you do,
Think now my friend!
Don't try to tell me,
No money you'd spend?!?

Desperate Faith

Why do you say I am so strong,
When I know I'm really not?
Why do you say I deal so well,
When in truth my nerves are shot?

Don't you realize my dear friend,
That it's simply not so true?
That I have challenges and doubts,
And I don't know what to do?

Why do you insist I'm great,
When I'm not so great at all?
Do you realize when you say this,
That I feel like I might fall?

Don't you realize I have questions,
On when my troubles will end?
And don't you realize the amount
Of hurt I need to mend?

Do you begin to realize,
How hard this is for me?
And I am coping a whole lot less,
Than anyone can see?

Do you know that I try so hard,
But feel like I only fail?
And despite my front of bravery,
I want to scream and wail?

Do you understand the hurt behind it,
When I say I never cry?
And you want me to shed a tear,
But I'm not sure I even try!

Do you realize my dear friend,
That my faith is out of desperation?
So to say I'm so amazing,
Is a real exageration?

Faith

When you know that you have nothing,
And Hashem gives you everything,
You only need your faith.

When you don't keep your money,
And savings you only wish to see,
That's the meaning of faith.

And when there's a bill to pay,
and there is simply no way,
The times call for faith.

You have so little, need so much,
Health, happiness, wealth and such,
You'll get it all with faith.

You need nothing at all,
It's to Hashem you must call,
Because everyrhing comes from faith.

Hashem provides for everyone,
Everything they need, under the sun,
You just need to have faith.

So when the road gets rough,
And the going tough,
You need to remember your faith.

It'll carry you through,
In all that you do,
But you need to have that faith.
