| This poem is the third of a series of three poems which I am calling hatting poems. A hatting poem is written with the intention of hopefull passing on some enlightenment & how to do something. I hope you enjoy and learn. Carl the Poet Happily forever after, we marry for that She made me happy, we want it forever Rolling it back, we met each other, hopefully we proceeded Attention to details, care to please our friend or lover Thinking about the other, doing extra things to please Creating today and tomorrow, handling the bumps on the way Merrily we created a life, one day happily we wed Now we have each other, no longer the same game Not as important to take care, neglect to remember small things Little things left unsaid, annoyances accumulated Worse, small things harmfully done, not repairing the damage Creating slows to a stop, endurance, now hard to change. Still we try, try to get by, failing to handle the past or the future Painful now, somehow, our beautiful marriage is gone Forever happily married, seems it may not last What happened, how did we sink so low Is she not beautiful, is he not the man of your dreams What was once created can be again, creating must begin Talk it out with each other, don’t shout, sit close Find something wonderful about your lover, you know you can After all he’s your man, she’s your woman, your lover You started a life together, no way it can not fail Failure is simply not the question, it is only quitting Failing to create what you started, quitting, neither creating Pretty soon, no husband, no wife, only a lonely man and woman Both victims of your own neglect. It will not be easier the next time Habits of neglect, failing to create are easy, ruining your life Break free now, you can create, make them your happy friend Start over, clean the slate, duck often, but create your life together The Poet knows, been there, done that, lived to tell Many friends, a long happy life, got a darn good wife. Need some help, references, common sense advice, Contact the Poet. He’ll help you though, happily ever after. One point, doing nothing is the wrong thing to do.
