It is difficult
To catch that pretty girl’s eye
And to smile at her
It is difficult
To be the first one to make
That very bold move
It is difficult
To find those pesky buttons
With trembling fingers
It is difficult
Not to want to eat her up
But say words of love
It is difficult
Not to upset her parents
Nor make a mistake
It is difficult
Not to look too nervous
On your wedding day
It is difficult
To have that first argument
And make up after
It is difficult
Not to shed a tear of joy
With the first baby
It is difficult
To farewell to your children
As they leave your home
It is difficult
To lose the one you so love
And not shed a tear
It is difficult
Not to remember the bliss
Of being married
All these difficulties! In the end, though, they seem to be worth it.
ReplyDeleteA memory that should be kept and treasured..the trembling fingers are poignant..looking back can feel like that.
ReplyDeleteIt is important throughout life to remember that things are constantly changing. Easier said than done, especially in a society that does its best to convince us that there is some place of eternal bliss, if only we can find it. Although change can be painful, stasis is death.
ReplyDeleteAh yes... difficult steps along the road of life... but ones that were well worth it, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult not to move on. Life is for living.
ReplyDeleteLife can be difficult but I'm pretty sure Mr Newton would have pointed out that every difficulty has an equal and opposite simplicity!
