She Thought Marriage Would Have Been Nice

As the half way point of my life Arrives before I knew it I thought I wanted marriage To that I must admit I always imagined him and I Sharing life and a porch together Sitting there and reflecting How the years for us got better Remembering when the grand kids Were kids and oh so grand We look at them and see how they've grown How the time passes like an hour glass of sand I dreamed that we would reminisce Of the places we had seen All the things we got to do Like living out all our dreams But the hopes of marriage Never came to be That's when I realized I don't need, another half to me The way I am right now makes me happy and content I have all I ever need Even, if I don't have a cent You see what I have inside of me Can't be taken or compromised It makes me who I am No one should be surprised I don't need another For me to live my life Oh, I'm sure it would be nice To have been introduced as his wife Sometimes the things we most want Are things we don't need Life will go on just fine My heart will not bleed We can share the remaining years They way we've shared the past Always being together With a love that will always last Yes, marriage would have been nice If nothing, just to share his name But in looking back I see That no one is to blame I know some things are meant to be While others are not But I'll never give up hope That one day we'll tie the knot 1-15-07/RJH
