call me old fashioned <br />i will not mind, i still cling to marriage <br />despite the odds. <br /> <br />i am not an angel <br />but i always know how to ask <br />forgiveness. <br /> <br />my wife is hardheaded <br />taking me in again <br />with all arms embracing <br /> <br />this prodigal husband <br />this philanderer <br />with nothing to give but love <br />reborn <br />and promises relived <br /> <br />life is hard <br />fidelity is a long lost virtue <br />but marriage must remain <br />as the cornerstone <br />of life <br /> <br />inside the house still <br />lies the real home<br /><br />RIC S.
