Seasons Of Life I met a young girl Oh what a whirl I was yearning for a new life I asked her to be my wife We were blessed with two magical girls Hopeful that the world would unfurl I became tired and gaunt Is this really what I want Responsibilities grew and grew To this life could I be true I thought I deserved a crown But I honestly let her down At times I really tried Sometimes I cheated and I lied Mama came down with the blues Me, well, I hid out in the booze We kept trying to win each other's heart All the while growing further apart We both love those pretty babies And people there is no maybes What we forgot to surrender from the start Was our own opposite selfish hearts So on it went for nigh on thirteen years Each of us sulking in our fears Until we could no longer perpetuate the ruse Someone had to pay the dues Did it have to be our precious angels Stuck in our web of emotional tangles If we could have fore seen this ugly end Would we have even tried to defend This story ended in the fall Perhaps it is best after all So this year like a blossom soaked with dew All four of us must start anew It will require patience and toil In this most fertile virgin soil Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
