An ode to being left behind number 2
A day in the life of a man
I drove her and boy up to Los Angeles
I am not proud of this to say
I helped her get on her merry way
I loaded bags and my little one
So they could leave me and be done
Life is hard for us left behind
Like a cast out melon rind
Soldiers stay and fight the war
While families flee hoping for more
I am not warrior made
I am an old song played
No one knows the pain I fee.
No one knows my great big deal
So my wife and son have left me now
Will I survive is a great big how
Oh well in the grand scheme of things
I will find what Tuesday brings
------------------
For she and he are just visiting Grandma and uncle
in an town I call carbuncle
Houston with cousins galore
Great guys I call once more
She called me three times from each airport
About her nervousness to report
You see my wife and boy have left me
For our family just to see.
Can I make it until Tuesday return?
I hope you can as odes I will burn.

Peace be upon you. May you grow old with my happiness and sadness.
Ah, Dearest Eric,
You had me going there for a bit! Whew, I know you were so happy when Tuesday arrived to see those cherished loved ones. You are a treasure and this is a gem.
When you started leaving such wonderful answers to my questions, I thought I had been following you, but I realized I have not been. So, I must catch up a bit on your wonderful writings!
Voted up +++
God bless you. In His Love, Faith Reaper

Life is good. And that is just one "o" away from God.
Ahhh! All those feelings are wonderful. Keep writing until they get back.
This is wonderful Eric and of course any occasion in life can be used to create gems.
Wonderful my friend and so glad to learn there is still a lot of love in this world.
Enjoy your day my friend.
Eddy.

She called me from church. I am crying from ear to ear. Life is good.
Voted up and awesome...you sure had me fooled...so creative the way you express your feelings. I took a trip in June with my daughter and how I missed my husband!
Although I'm not obsessed with cell phones, I was thrilled to communicate via text with our i phones! And a few phone calls.
God bless, and thank you for a great hub. Sparklea :)

I do declare I am a sissy pants. I just need the touch. I just need to watch them sleep. I just need my loved ones.
I used to be such a tough guy.
Reckon you got Froggy. Reckon Froggy got you. Hold on, but not too tight.
Very touching. These experiences are the ones that define us as person. couples and lovers. Get the best from it. At least you know that a return will come. May God be with them and you.

I think I will pull some weeds in the garden and just plain cry. But now I have the finest of all fine men suffering with me. Thank you
It won't be long now Eric. You got a couple of good poems out of your depravation, so it's not all bad.
