The Day My Life Changed

The Day My Life Changed. It was November 1982, that terrible day that broke my life in two. My bloke had an accident and broke his back, And so began a whole new life, One that was often filled with strife. No more would we be able to live in the High Country, Trudging through the Winter snow. That dream had gone down, The only place we could call home now, was in town. Four months of living out of suitcases, not having a home, Not a great time of my life, but it had to be done. That was my choice when two became one. For a further 20 years I stayed, but often unhappy, My marriage was over. We had grown apart. I now knew the decision that I had to make. It was time for me to depart.
