We traveled across two states
To help change the fate,
Of a friend who was in need —
They fell into medical greed.
We gave away our possessions,
Based on a horrid confession.
We traveled without delay
To live in this place today.
And now that we’ve arrived
We found out it was lies.
With no more place called home,
We will soon begin to roam.
But as dreadful as this can be,
My wife fell sick on Christmas Eve.
She was spewing red and green;
The morning was obscene.
So instead of time with friends
She spent it in the hospital beds.
And even with all this pain,
Christmas is here again!
