Mudlark
In my muddy marriage I thought I'd die.
I really did want to say goodbye.
In the end I threw him out.
"Enough of this treatment" I shout.
Ten years later on reflection.
No union is pure perfection.
I now reach down in muddy waters.
First up, I touch my beautiful daughters.
This house I got to keep is next.
I'm quiet sure that had him vexed.
I feel the rocky bottom of river bed.
I too reached rock bottom in my head.
But now my life is so serene.
I have forgiven he who was so mean.
Onward flows the river of life.
None of us escape without some strife.
