That Is No Longer There

That Is No Longer There Worked another eighty hours this week Before I finally had reached my peak And short time later then had exploded On my baffled husband I unloaded. An opportunity we might miss full of gold As each day we do continue to grow old And only time now in our lives is fleeting Do like neighbor who we are often meeting. Grand children are growing older day by day And there is nothing left for me to say To husband who has been quiet as a mouse Except, I think we should sell the house. Of course, in an instant we will bet Our nice neighbor will become upset The one who pleasant, perfect and nice Who gives us great, sound and solid advice. Things appear traumatic and times are dim While you sit there thinking about them So instead of feeling sorry for yourself again New house near Lake Norman should move in. Fishing, fun and much glee will fill the air By being close to them showing you care Knowing now that you may be instrumental In relieving parent's anxieties probably mental. Next door neighbor can still see once in a while And new neighbors there will be on trial To meet incredible standards and to compare With previous neighbor that is no longer there.
