It seemed they had it easy And they did, for awhile Until everything changed The economy turned, went belly up
He got laid off The only job he could find - lost She got diagnosed with cancer Their lives flipped upside down Nothing will ever be the same again And it wasn't
He sent out resumes She sent out prayers He went to interviews She went to chemo He updated his skills She updated her will Nothing would ever be the same again And it wasn't
He collected rejections She collected scars Wounds filed away The folder labeled the dark years Together they cried Together they prayed No one ever said life would be easy And it wasn't
A few years later Things turned again, up this time He's in a steady job She's in remission His ego mends Her body heals He grows confident She grows strong Together they gain endurance Wisdom and gratitude Gathered from the bottom of the well The bowels of life. Time ticks on Life moves forward Through the dark years.
