One Day At a Time
Little Billy was the oldest in a family , with six siblings
quite poor, staying in a shack on top of a hill is where they were living
every day he'd make a trip down the hill to get water and bread
it was the only way that Billy could keep them all fed
half of the time the children cried, starving with hunger
always in freezing conditions, they couldn't make a fire without lumber
times were hard not having there loving father around
missing for a few months, he was dead when he was found
since then Billy took over , he's now the man of the house
....stressed out on the younger ones
he would cry because sometimes he had to tell them to do without
but Billy soon would have to get a job and deal with the stress
already scared, living with his mother sick and on bed rest
until sadly his mother passed away, the issue bothered him
he couldn't even keep his little siblings in which he fathered them
the rest of them lived in fostercare, until they were old enough to leave
Billy still lived in that shack with all his childhood memories
he still goes down the hill for water and bread to ease his mind
and continues to take every step ....one day at a time
