She loved a basic country boy
With all her ardent heart:
Then she grew up but he did not,
And so they grew apart
Their courtship brought him all
He ever wanted – maybe more –
Then marriage and a child brought
More than he bargained for
At least, that’s how he sees it now.
She’s worked successfully –
He’s bitter, feeling left behind
Which doesn’t have to be
She loves him still, and if he would
Still love her faithfully,
She’d give him every thing she has
But he’s
Too blind
To see
I married one of those… it ended as your poem did.
So did one of my daughters.
Lovely poem! I really like your poems
