Dig a Little Deeper

When the honeymoon is over, and things have settled down

And the exhale that follows leaves you fully unwound

Dig a little deeper… create another round.

**

She’s pregnant with one and then there are two

And there’s no sleep at night and more work to do

Dig a little deeper… do your share too.

**

There are diapers to change and babies to feed

No time for you, life spins at warp speed

Dig a little deeper… let her know she’s the one you need.

**

When the kids have grown, and activities never stop

Enjoy those moments, help them come out on top

Dig a little deeper… cheer them on, enjoy their shouts.

**

When the empty nest is now your own

And all of your sweet children have long since flown

Dig a little deeper… as life moves on.

**

Time to rediscover who you are now

Relight the flame of love for a while

Dig deeper… find out who she is now

**

As the years move on and our bodies taunt us

with aches and pains and demanding sorrows

Dig deeper… find out who you are.

**

Life changes us whether we like it or not

Good memories of life and lessons to be taught

Dig deeper… reflect… and share them now …

**

Though they won’t be heard…

‘til we’ve been gone for awhile.
