A GOOD MAN:



A hard working, hard earning man was he,
Believing in democracy in the land of the free,
He´d never killed a soul, but then neither had I,
Never drank nor smoked & never ever got high.      

Responsible husband & father to add to his name,
No pointing fingers & there was nothing to blame,
He was so stalwart, upright & as straight as can be,
He was the best there was & he was married to me.

But, this man never danced & he never tried to sing,
There was never a bloom, a gem, nor a gifted ring,
No soft words, books read, nor poetry in the rain,
No waltzing in the moonlight, my soul cried in pain.

My sad spirit laughed alone & it thrived in the dark,
Like roots without the sun or a dog without its bark,
A good man, who never killed a soul, never told a lie,
But then, as the good wife I was, neither had I.
