Will I Know When the Music Ends

Will I Know When the Music Ends?

Sometimes “together” runs its course,
A warm hand held turns cold or then,
He works late most every night;
His face is not bright as once it had been.
He stops saying “No” to a pretty purchase,
And instead doesn’t care or when.
He ”reads” his phone way past ten
When your own eyes are closed again;
“Tomorrow I’ll bake him his special pie!”
Tearfully, you try, you cry and with a last sigh,
“Make me sure when the music ends.”

Sad. I pray the Lord enter such a relationship and make it dazzle. And when the Rainy Days come, He will make it shine. Oh how the Lord loves to help His Children. His guidance is irreplaceable.

Sounds like it flat-lined already. Take that pie and smooch it in his face. :)
