People Change
by Richard Maxfield

Tell me please, why do people change
their personalities, so rearranged
how can they be, one way most of their life
full of love, and shallow of strife
all ways there, when a friend you need
always quick, with a good deed
you never take advantage, of what they do
forever striving to do, more for them than they do for you
you have spent, most of your lives as husband and wife
you have shared your all, you have shared your life
when life gets better, each and ever day
always great, nothing bad to say
children we gave life, thought right from wrong
wake each day, with a smile and a song
after so much shared, and love so good
how can it change, not stay as it should
both our kids, almost grown
with wonderful, lives all of their own
the time has come, the time you dream
just you and her, this is the cream
what you have worked for, all of your life
alone at last, you and your wife
all of the plans, and so much to see
travel through life, just her and me
but you always know, if you need she is there
you awake one day, to be taken unaware
all of your hopes, all of your dreams
all vanish, or so it seams
she takes her things, and moves away
nothing you did wrong, she had to say 
she said I have changed, there is nothing you can do
I want you to know, I will all ways love you
a better husband, I never could have had
I have to go, please dont be sad
Please tell me, why do people change
their personalities, so rearranged
