Sad Sad Day

Destiny is struck, the pace has been set
My eyes glean the crowd, our eyes met
She smiles surreptitiously, he responds enthusiastically
How simple is this love, how true we promise vehemently
They are made for each other the whisperers say
They will remain together forever we foresay
Yet alas a few yers later, they divorce we hear
He gets the car, she the house they discuss
And the kids? you hear yourself ask
Oh, he gets them on weekends Thank God!
She seems happy at the outcome her love she forgot
Alas far too common this has become
Please consider the kids for once!
