Oh how I long,
for the days of my youth.
Alot of things were simpler
and this is the truth
But then again
time has flown by
Lots of time
I had to cry
Pick up the pieces
of a world torn apart
Especially when he
broke my heart
I wouldn't trade
a day that we shared
Because when we were
young lovers
We both really cared
Wonderful children who
were a part of our life
We both have had
our share of strife
He made me his wife
After twenty odd years
mended my heart
Wiped away my tears
But a lasting marriage
Just wasn't meant to be
FOR NOW ANOTHER LOVE
STANDS BESIDE ME

A poem of loving sentiment. Not all love is guaranteed to last as we all know. Candidly you share this, in a very lovely way, and in a innocent style complete your feelings with your pen to show life goes on, and happiness can prevail despite the past...Lovely write!

Marriage is concieved on Earth.
I believe that relationships are made on earth by we mortals, and not by God in Heaven, for it is a test to exercise His teachings and anyway, if God made marriages, there would not be such a high failure rate. Not every relationship is destined to win so one must accept failure if it comes, but the lessons learnt must be applied in the future.

Life is not a straight and simple path. It winds around, and is full of stones and cracks. If you don't mind your feet, you will stumble and fall. The beauty of it is that we are all given a chance to stand up, dust ourselves off and try again. We may be a little battered and bruised, but we will also be a lot wiser. Nicely done.

A nice tale of fond reminisces that help to buffer the others, while time moves on bringing with it new joys and loves.
Nicely flowing piece.

TOUCHING WRITE!!!!
I too have lost a wife to another and went through all of the heartache and lonliness. So much to think about, to wonder what is real and what is not. I have not found another and probably will not, but my hope is still alive that someday I will. A heart-felt poem my friend.

It's about time you got back...yep to have days of our youth would be wonderful in some ways..but than we would have to learn the lessons over agian. sometimes yesterdays heartache prepares us for something new and wonderful. Just like a physical scare of the flesh that fades so do scares of love.. We learn something to take to us to a future time when we will appreciate what we do not know..but have more maturity to the true meaning. Well something like that. Great write and a joy to read your thoughts again. Love ya
