I'm reaping quite a harvest-
From the wild oats that I've sowed...
It's coming back with interest-
From my years out on the road.

I guess I've made a shambles-
Of this mess I call a life-
With children who don't know me...
And a bitter, hating wife.

I made my bed, I must admit...
Now in it I must lie-
I cannot call this living...
But somehow I never die.

I'm leaving in the morning-
For another week of peace...
Most happy when I'm all alone...
Oh, when will this all cease?

I guess this is my lot in life-
No ray of hope or cheer-
If I were a drinking man...
I'd be crying in my beer.

Ah come on m'friend...can't be all that bad.
Good write here John....you're a great story teller.

Man! This is great cowboy...the story of my life too! (But that is a waste of good beer yanno). I've got tears in my ears from lying on my pillow, rolling over crying over you.

I like the way this poem flows, and I absolutely love the humorous ending. Hope things start looking up for you soon.
