I'm tired of all the struggling
Been struggling all my life
Met a man just like me
He struggled with a wife
Struggling's a little like swimming
Or treading water in one place
Waiting to catch the tide just right
Or a wicked wind that sets your pace
It introduces your stuggle to new hope
Turning it into a dream
Bleaching and painting a canvas
That just isn't at all what it seems
Struggling is a way of life
It's something you can depend upon
Until your eyes finally open
To find that the dream is all gone
So back again to s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g
Day in and day out
Humdrumming all your mundane
Then filling your future with doubt
I need a man just like me
Who struggles all his life
But not while he is struggling
He already has a wife.

Leave it to you Susan to have such rhyme and flow in a poem of this topic and with such intimate emotions, I feel for anyone in this spot having had a similar situation at one time...
