GOODBYE

GOODBYE


Husband dear, don’t cry for me
Do not feel for me pain.
I quit this home and the world
Never to come again.

We had our differences
Our likes, dislikes and whim,
The cup of discontent was
Rather full to the brim.

On past occasions I tried
To kill myself, the cause.
But every time I thought of
The children and did pause.

They are grown and so am I,
Face no longer charming.
You have no time for me now.
My looks are alarming.

This is the time to act out
The end scene of my life.
Goodbye, O my dear husband,
Here goes your loving wife.
