‘Tis them that I fear
With their old fashioned ways,
Taking us back
To the old fashioned days.
~
They pull at your heart
And tear at your mind,
Causing fear and confusion
A terror thats blind.
~
They offer you things
That cannot console,
Then it’s me that does hold you,
When you fall in a hole.
~
A husband so cruel
As he whips them along,
He plays and controls
With the devils own song.
~
I look at you weeping
Your hands all a shake,
I look for the sense
That this torture does make.
~
I imagine your smile
And your beautiful hair,
Your wonderful eyes
Just bubbling with care.
~
Your laughter it echo’s
Through the edge of my mind,
Near the mem’ries of us
That we left behind.
~
I cling to the feeling
We have when we’re near,
Then choke down the pain
The confusion and fear.
~
I try not to worry
They’ll take you from me,
And pray for a future
The one that I see.




 Slow Down, stop to smell the roses and stroll through the garden of life, it will be a more pleasurable experience.

a great work here paul. it is hard to watch someone we care so much about get hurt.
