Sometimes
Sometimes when I see
A happy family
It quickly gets to me
The sadness that must be
In this lonely life of just me
For whatever sins I may have done,
I never meant to hurt anyone
And whatever luster I had in life,
Burned away with a cheating wife.
I realize part was my fault
I did not provide something I ought,
But the pain was slow to fade,
In the misery that she made
Now hope has come again to me
In a beauty all can see
Shining from the inside out
Makes me want to shout
And, I know that I am blessed.
And in happiness I am dressed.
