A Song For A Sunday.

Too often, we as menfolk, fail to recognize the depth of love and sacrifice shown by our wives/partners. Her work is quiet, remains often unseen and indeed unmeasured, yet she holds together the home and gives us a place of rest, comfort, and belonging.
We often overlook the countless acts of care, patience and devotion she gifts so freely, and we sometimes forget that her love is not expressed in grand gestures, but in the steady rhythm of daily life.
In our blindness, we men often take for granted the very heart of our family home, failing to give back the gratitude and appreciation a mothers love truly deserves.

Remember the words of Psalms 90:10: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70 years); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80 years), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away”

To Daddy.

To Daddy.

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
The only thing that seemed to be important in her life,
Was to make a house a home and make us happy.
Mama never wanted any more than what she had,
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
He often left her all alone, but she didn’t mind the stayin’ home.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted,
And she didn’t need those things to make her happy,
And she didn’t seem to notice that he didn’t kiss and hold her.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
One morning we awoke just to find a note,
That Mama carefully left to Daddy,
And as he began to read it our ears could not believe it,
The words she had written there to Daddy.
She said, “The kids are old enough, they don’t need me very much,
And I’ve gone in search for love I need so badly.
I have needed you so long, but I just can’t keep holding on.”
She never meant to come back home.
If she did, she never did say so to Daddy.
Goodbye to Daddy.

End.
