But Then Such Is Life

They raised three children two girls and a boy
And for awhile they knew love and married life did enjoy
But last July their marriage fiftieth anniversary they did not celebrate
In their life's calendar just another date
Out of love though living under the one roof for three decades or more
Love and happiness lasted in their marriage of years perhaps a score
For years she has had her own lover does things her own way
For him being unfaithful to her the price he must pay
With seven grandchildren and time on them ticking on
In their early seventies the best years of their lives to the forever gone
For years they have not made love or slept together though under the one roof they live
For his infidelities him she did not forgive
Not all things in married life does go to plan
He has his own mistress she has her own man
Living under the one roof but not as man and wife
And barely on speaking terms but then such is life.
