Getting By

Getting By
By: Gary L. Lark

"Ive planted trees and cleaned toilets for the park and i never left the woods" "Forty years later and im still getting by"

This poem is about how some people are happy just living the same way over and over again. Some people like living day by day and only thinking about the next day and nothing after that. This man is just settling for where he is in life and is not trying to obtain anything more.

This man loves just getting by even if its not the best thing in life, he is just happy with what he has and he doesnt need anymore to be happy. He is content with what he is doing with his life just by living everyday the same way and trying to survive with the money he has.

This man has been living like this for forty years and he does not want to change now because he is finally happy where he is and he doesnt want anything to change. He could not be any happier even if he had a million dollars because he would know that he didnt earn it and that wouldnt be right for him.
