Listen to poem:

South Side of Tomorrow

We’ll meet one last time tomorrow
to sign upon that dotted line
and what God once joined together
will be forever unentwined.

It’s the south side of tomorrow
no more friction, no more strife
break apart to come together
time to start a brand new life.

Still I  think about our first year
when all our eggs were sun side up
and your morning smile made it clear
we more than filled our loving cup

It’s the south side of tomorrow
no more friction, no more strife
break apart to come together
time to start a brand new life.

Though the papers say no fault dear
we both know that’s not quite true 
each affair would end with makeup tears 
but we had new dreams to pursue.

It’s the south side of tomorrow
no more friction, no more strife
break apart to come together
time to start a brand new life.

We’ll meet one last time tomorrow
to sign upon that dotted line
and what God once joined together
will be forever unentwined.

Sad but one should not have to live in a marriage where there is not trust and faithfulness. Sara

Thanks Sara, stay or leave both are hard and sad and that's why there are so many sad songs around this,

This has a great flow to it, I can picture it being a good blues or Country song. Congratulations on your win, DW. "Unentwined", my favorite word of the day...

Thanks John, my spell check didn't like unentwined but sometimes tweaking words a little can help the flow. Now if only I could sing.

Thanks John, to quote Tolstoy, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." which may be why there are so many C&W hurting songs
