Finally home for the day
taking off my tired worn shoes
inhaling deeply, relaxed
ready to pop in the blues
Lighting a few candles
that were bought on sale
praying all the bills away
while reading the mail
Couldn't afford the phone bill
oh well, I had no one to call
and it's those bill collectors
that call me most of all
Back to the feel of the music
Losing myself in the beat
inhale, exhale once again
after a dance, I rest my feet
Time for bed as it's getting late
resting up for another day
of work, class and other things
among them praying the bills away
No, I may not have a lot
but what I have is somethin' good
I live and love each day
wouldn't trade it, if I could

I love the message of this poem! It's so great, because lots of people are so upset that they don't have enough, but in reality they've got more than enough.
Being happy with what you've got is an important lesson many people have failed to learn, and you've conveyed it artistically and beautifully in this poem!
