The Vow

They said, with this ring I thee wed Their vows complete, all words were said The groom standing tall, in his tux by her side Her face so beautiful, a radiant bride Two faces filled with hope, new beginning new life When the pasture pronounced them, husband and wife Today a new family, a mommy a daddy Was everything, they wanted to be A creation a family, a new birth new life She a mother, a loving devoted wife He a proud father, as he kissed her lips But like everything, even hearts start to slip The years passed on by, as they always do He packed his things, left her alone and blue Her mind took a turn, as she fell apart Her once happy life, now a broken new start Her heart filled with pain, only sad memories As he left her alone, to raise their five kids One by one, each child got older and left Her bills kept mounting, leaving her in debt But still on her finger, was her golden wedding band Cracked skin rough fingers, there upon her hand Today her family stands, on this grass beside her stone For she took one more vow, as she cried...she died alone
