 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY


He Stopped Loving Her Today


(In memory of my Dad)

He stopped loving her today
This was my fathers life~
The story was the same right through
My mother was his wife~
Now all these years later on
From a small boy I watched him die inside~
He kept his vows every single one
And broken hearted died with pride~
No one but myself chooses to remember
How he suffered but always carried on~
And though an older man now myself I'm doing fine
Right up until again I hear this song~
I told him I'd find what he never did alive
Simply true love and peace of mind~
I said to him last I'll find it for you dad
I can still see his sincere smile so kind~
I've lived my life searching for unconditional true love
One who adores myself as I did her as well~
In every single old fashioned way
And we have rang that wedding bell~
I've broken the spell,my hearts now safe and free
I cannot die anymore as my dad left this earth~
I am so inlove with one who's inlove with me
Happy now until I take my last breath on earth~
But every time I hear that song
I feel again his suffering and his pain~
My dad a saint,A man right to the end
He gave only sunshine to all and received only rain~
My mother refused to take care of him
He was ill but she was still his wife
Family were not interested in this
They always informed myself of his strife
One day I'd gotten there too late it's true
She had convinced him to sign his life away
When I got there I was told he had died
Only just it was they said yesterday
It's a sin to have one sign a paper
Knowing in a day or maybe even two
Your life it will be no more at all
The things some souls on earth they do
My mum died not long after that in life
She did not wait for karma's visit at all
I guess they'll come to terms with that
In heaven with Gods writing on the wall
I've found it dad peace of mind and true love
Like no money on earth could buy it true~
I live my life with all your values intact
You being my dad it lives on all thanks to you~
I learned never to drop ones search in life
For what really matters to you more all along ~
Now all I've found in one beautiful loving girl
Has me being able to listen now to that that song~
LOVE YA MATE ......
