Commitment

You said you love him

And vowed forever

For better or worse

You'd be together

 

You said you loved her

And pledged your heart

Through sickness and health

Til death do you part

 

And now you're leaving

Going separate ways

Removing wedding blands

Casting love away

 

But what of the children

With tears in their eyes

Trying to understand

As daddy says his good-byes

 

"I'llsee you this Christmas"

You promise each child

But it's only September

So that's quite a while

 

Going to court

Fighting for custody

Belongings are divided

And so is the family

 

You said you were in love

But now turn your backs

You're both giving up

Where's the commitment in that?
