All for the better

I feel the feelings

They leave me reeling

The love i thought i had

I thought it not so bad

A  few niggles here and there

Nowt to make yo much aware

But others knew, they dare not say

Now they tell, so far away

All for the better, she was right

I wanted a wife, she wanted a life

Children three, they are what mattered

I would not leave, tho life was shattered

Now two years on i feel better

My bed is cold, but my children fettered

warm and fed and better sheltered

I care not just for me you see

I care for things she did not see
