A Long Tough Ride

It’s been a long, tough ride And I’ve been working like a Mom It’s been a long tough ride My heart is ticking like a bomb I know my duty it was To work and manage the house But soon I’ll feel so lost When she’s gone Things will not be the same When she’s gone Oh how my heart will grieve It’s been a long, tough ride And I’ve been working like a slave It’s been a long, tough ride My mind is reeling like a tape I love my baby so much I know my heart will be crushed Yet I will be alright When she’s gone Things will not be the same When she’s gone Oh how my heart will grieve It’s been a long tough ride I should be happy to be free It’s been a long tough ride I should dancing in the breeze But when I think of the world She has to live in and work I’ll still be on my knees in prayer Because it’s scary out there But we will be alright It’s been a long tough ride Entry into John Heck’s Sponsored Contest: “Beatlemania Sing Along” Sung to “It’s Been a Hard Day’s Night”

This is so sad and uplifting at the same time, like a mother bird watching her baby fly for the first time, let me brush a tear away, well penned, dear heart, just lovely. And thanks so much for your kind comment on my poem, Fathomless as the Sky, gosh I could have won my own contest(lol)but fun aside, I really appreciate your input and I am wishing you the best of luck with this fab poem in John's contest, a winner to me....
