If this would end we’d all be thrilled
All who are here are too unskilled
To unravel tangles
So complex as promise expelled
As burning as a love withheld
The failing of a dream.
I see it now an answered prayer
So clearly I might think I’m there
The other side of life.
Where hope’s alive where joy’s restored
Where gladness is sweethearts’ reward
Revival of a dream.
What’s done is done, can’t be undone
An apt truism sounding homespun
By captain obvious
Cannot refute conversions made
Will make the spouses glad they stayed
To build again a dream.
