Waiting on a Salary

Sitting on my desk,
With a pile of invoices shading me from light
Thinking through and through
Hoping the salary comes in soon

I wonder will it be able to carry me through it all,
Will I pay the bills, buy myself a gift,
Take my kids out; buy my wife a gift,
Or buy a different meal for my family.

In no time,
It leaves me again,
All alone with my pile of invoices,

Am waiting for next month’s salary,
May be then I will pay the bills,
Take my kids out,
Buy my wife a necklace.

All months seem the same,
Year in year out,
But am still waiting on
