Rug

You`re smiling, you`re smug
You`re there on the rug
you`ve got some kind of life
You`re single or maybe got a wife
maybe a husband and toss in a few kids
the picture is this,you`re not on the skids
outlook is good ,smooth as cheap wine
By now you`re numb to the bumps,skips and grinds
Hey thats life

Then out of the blue on that sunny nice day
Fate,destiny or some such crap comes into play
your feet go flying,your ass is asunder
life slams you so hard you end up totally under
and under ain`t the place to be, believe me

Because someone dear is gone
and they took a piece of you with them
how could they be so selfish and hurt you so bad
stepping out of the picture
ruining the plans you had
they didn`t let on,never gave a clue
or did they?
and you`re left to wonder
could i have changed things

So years go by and the pain doesn`t
sure it get`s easier
but it`s always there
and the part that gives me the worst scare
is that it won`t ever go away

so tell them that you love them
and listen to what they say

let them know you need them
and that they always may
come to you and talk to you
and you`ll always be their friend

i hope the rug you`re standing on
is nailed and glued and screwed
and it`s warm and soft,and oh yeah
a nice color too
and i hope it never gets yanked

It is so rare when you see an older couple that have lived their lives without getting rug burns, to me this is a miracle.
This says much. I like it.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

once again, beyond words.  i sat down the other day & read all your creations.  being one that feels all this as well, i know telling you i'm here for you doesn't lessen your pain, but it helps mine.  so selfish it may be, i'm here for you.  please don't take it lightly.  i have only throw rugs!!!! ha ha!!!! email k?
