We Do What We Have To Do
By Monique Nicole Fox

We do what we have to do,
even when we don't want to
like being a 9 to 5 working crew
like working OT to get a good performance review
like paying bills when they are due
like getting shots in order not to get the flu
like waiting for retirement 401K funds to accrue
like trying not to be a 1 night stand screw
like attempting to be honest, righteous and true
like setting resolutions each year that are new
like taking someone to court to sue
like saying kinds words when you are feeling blue

We do what we have to do,
even when we don't want to
with help, strength, and guidance
from God the Almighty
He will get us through
