I thought life would be grand,
Happy and fun,
Careless wondering,
From life to life.

I hoped for a wife,
For kids,
And a house,
Was I surprised by the feelings they brought.

Life did me wrong,
Too much to bite,
Too much to handle for a man my size.

I wish I could escape,
Run away from it all,
But am tied to it, kids, wife and all.
