Marriage Life

I'm use to spending my days in bad weather.
Hot, cold, sleet, snow, whiteouts it didn't matter.
Pushing myself to the limits because I hated to see you sick.
Who would have thought that the moments away would be the reason that we'd eventually split.
Thank God you made it through and now the kids are grown.
The only down fall is I'm sitting at this table eating breakfast all alone.
When just 10 years ago I was singing to a different tune.
I can't say I hate you because yes I understand you, even though sometimes I wish it wasn't true.
On the outside it doesn't show but I tend to cry.
I'm thankful at that moment I was yours and you were mine.
The cancer hasn't fully subsided but you're doing fine.
Grand children running around, something we'd thought you'd never find.
And that's why you'd always be my sidekick even if there's not a you and I.
