Guaranteed

Today my life at 53,
I think way back and disagree,
With many choices made by me,
They paved my future guaranteed,
I guaranteed to live as one,
I've had my share of love "that's gone ",
I guarantee my grief won't end,
With time I know the hurt won't mend,
I guarantee I will offend,
I'm false I just pretend my friend,
I guarantee I'm half the man,
I try and do what most men can,
I guarantee my life's no fun,
I've past the point of a re-run,
I guarantee health will diminish,
My hunger pains well they just vanish,
I guarantee I'll lose another,
It's on the cards my mother's brother,
I guarantee he'll get good care,
And as a family we'll be there,
And with that thought,
I look back with a smile,
I made one perfect choice,
My loving partner by a mile.
