I PROMISED YOU THE GOOD LIFEI promised you the good life and it didn%u2019t happen.Instead you got a track home in suburbia and children who gaveyou stretch marks.You were 18 years oldwhen I met you.We have been marriedanother 18 years (half of your life).I didn%u2019t promise you a cabin in the mountains or a big diamond ring. (Sorry your ring was so small, but it was all I could afford.)In the mornings I brought you hot tea in bed and gave you children who love you.And now that you%u2019re gone a man who misses you.
