Jane Was A Good Wife

To Joe her alcoholic wife and child beating husband Jane was a good wife In his early thirties he took his own life After coming home from the pub drunk he often beat her and their children John and Ann He was a disturbed and very angry man After being arrested by the police after assaulting a man in a pub he hung himself in the jail cell The local police sergeant knocked on her door the sad news for to tell And though he had been cruel to herself and her children for years For him she did grieve and for him she shed tears A grandmother in her early sixties her shoulder length hair silver gray She never remarried and single she will stay For as long as she lives she has learned the hard way That for our lessons in life there is some price to pay Jane is a beautiful person compassionate and kind And any flaw in her would be hard to find She devotes many hours every week to helping the homeless and hungry and financially down To live as a good person is her claim to renown.
