Things Have Changed


The kids are grown
Things have changed
Now I've found
I'm all alone

Way back when
While thinking ahead
This wasn't my dream
I was in love back then

This is when I thought
There'd be more to life
Then being a mom
And someone's wife

The kids are not the only one's
Who have moved away
My husband is gone
I'm glad for that
Even to this day

Though my heart was ripped out
It wasn't my plan
To be all alone
Never thinking I'd be
Without even a man

Never looking behind
Or a twist of his head
My hubby ended up sleeping
In my best friend's bed

Though I'm still pretty
And still young
The time is now
For grandchildren to come

I've tried dating again
But things have changed
None of the rules
Are even close to the same

Two by two
Like Noah's Ark
Everywhere I go
It's what I embark

They say it is darkest
Before the dawn
I can attest to this
I just want to be gone

Each night I pray
Before I sleep
Take me tonight
Is what I weep

My kids think I'm deranged
They don't understand
How lonely I am
How things have changed!
