times gettin hard now-a-days

i'm wondering when will things get better? i use to be much more hopeful about outcomes but now i'm wondering what type of future do i have? i'm old, debted out, no retirement to speak of and alone. i have so many responsibilities that include others but i have always performed them alone (babies daddies are dead beats). i'm tired of the struggle, but i gotta keep on truckin for the love of my children. maybe GOD will make to where i can rest a little in my old age? n i hope so.
