Georgekenneth Martin Poet Lyric

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
