Tammy Ol Poet Rhyme

Dead Wife Walking

I have grown tired and weary
Feeling drained and defeated
My desire to give is no more

I have tackled the fight 
I've exhausted all my punches 
Done trying to settle the score

Am I expecting too much
From this life that I am living?
There's gotta be more than this

What happened to Happy wife, Happy life'?
Feels like those days are numbered
Is this what becomes of wedded bliss?

Darlene De Beaulieu April 12, 2021 at 11:49 AM Hello Tammy O'Leary, yes I know what you mean. We expect the marriage to be the same. But somehow it changes. Enjoy your day my friend. Tammy Ol May 23, 2021 at 6:39 AM Ah, thank you Darlene, I appreciate your reassurance! You have a lovely day as well :)

Rico Leffanta April 12, 2021 at 11:38 AM Routine is comfortable, yet people despise it. People - especially seniors - do NOT like change, either! Enter daydreams! Aloha! Rico Tammy Ol May 23, 2021 at 6:40 AM Ha, ha Rico, your comments always bring a smile to my face :) Thank you!
