When Things Go Wrong
The day we marry,
we think things will be fine.
In our new lives we fly off
thinking that we shall never part.
All of a sudden there is
a sad feeling in our heart.
Something seems wrong
from the very start.
Just take it easy,
you know it will pass.
Surely these things
just do not last?
Days, weeks, months,
have passed you by.
All of a sudden,
you are buried in the past.
You begin to realize
it is not just about you anymore.
There are children now
in this endless strife.
These little people
hold our hearts together.
The key to our hearts
in this thing called life.
As husband and wife
we sit on loves shore,
wondering why we can't love
each other in the same kind of light.
Our sad hearts know
this loneliness so deep.
All through the years
we keep these things in our sight.
Finally, there is nothing
left to do anymore.
We need to move on,
and find some happiness before we die.
We go on, and search for
happiness on some other shore.
We finally end this strife
and put a stop to this lie.
Our children are there,
they help us make it through.
They have this way
of bringing us out of the blue.
We go on in our lives
and hope for the best.
Finding new husbands and wives
was what we needed to do.
We make all these changes
so late in life.
We give our hearts and minds
much needed rest.
We pray now for all those involved,
and wish for them the very best!
