He Did Not Seem To Realize

Forget about yesterday it has been and gone The now is what matters and life does go on The biological clock on our lives ticking fast We can only remember and learn from the past. Yesterday he went home from work to find that his wife Had left and with her taken the children for to start a new life With her secret lover in a distant town Such a thing for a man must be hard to live down. Though apart in their ways of late they had seemed to grow Of her new love and secret intentions he did not even know He had been spending too much time in the local pub As well as drinking with his mates in the bar of the football club. He did not seem to realize that no shortage of men in the World out there And his neglected woman did find love elsewhere Though her leaving him has taken him completely by surprise To take a woman for granted is not very wise. Tonight in the pub with tears in his eyes His mates standing by him with him Sympathize But if in them they do have the power to discern From what has happened to him they may even learn.
