Three L's of Togetherness

Mon, 04/24/2017 - 00:22 -- 1SP

I would like to dedicate this piece to us men, 
Men who are naive to see a good thing at home; 
We often get caught in temptation and let it win, 
Because we are too foolish to accept our wrongs. 

 

So read, picture, and listen 
To what you can salvage from missing... 

 

She is at home crying herself to bed, 
Alone waiting for you to make your return; 
Young man, I understand that you are upset, 
But love is eternal solely with the will to learn. 

 

Go home to apologize to her, 
Listening is the best gift she prefers... 

 

Put the streets on hold for a while, 
Because you need to get your home in order; 
Walking away from something worthwhile 
Does not define a man nor even a quarter. 

 

Go home to apologize to her, 
Honesty is the next gift she prefers... 

 

Men If we hold on 
To a good thing like this, 
There aint nothing 
From giving her happiness. 

 

After all the years you both invested, 
With the innocent kids you must raise; 
Giving up on it what you just ingested 
Because she wants to get in your face? 
 

Go back to embrace that woman, 
Love is one thing you have in common... 

 

What you two have so special, 
Outsiders envy the blessing they see; 
Misery enjoys company, so be careful 
And fighting for what God gave you to keep. 

 

Go back to hear that woman, 
Each other is another you have in common... 

 

Men If we hold on 
To a good thing like this, 
There aint nothing 
From giving her happiness. 

 

Men, now let us make it known, 
We will LISTEN to, LEARN, and LOVE 
All of our strong women at home.
