He
wanted to be a
good husband;
She wanted to
be a good
wife.
But they both
were strong
willed,
And their
marriage was
filled
With much
fighting, and
clashes, and
strife.
He wanted to
be called
successful;
She wanted to
have peoples'
praise.
So they hung
out in bars,
And they
bought fancy
cars,
And they
followed the
world and its
ways.
He wanted to
be a good
father;
She wanted her
kids to obey.
But children
are prone
To do what
they're shown,
And their
parents had
led them
astray.
They both
suffered pain
from their
children,
And wondered
how they could
have known
That examples
they'd set
Soon would
cause such
regret,
As they reaped
all the seeds
they had sown.
