A Valentine Wish

I wish I could have had a normal life Just one woman that I called a wife I wish I had all the things they had those that stayed, friends that wed I wish the house where I live was mine the deed with my name on the dotted line I wish the steps were stairs not children something claimed over chosen I wish, I wish, with all my might that all those valentines were just one wife

Life is not always smooth as we wish ! We have many longings ! It is not necessary that all those longings are realized in life. An emotive write....

It sounds as if you had many marriages? I finally got the "stepkids" idea after thinking about that line for a while!! Sorry you did not have just one fine wife. My mom fought constantly with my stepdad but they stayed married 40 years until his death. So I think seeing my mom stick with it (no matter what) set the tone for my own way of facing marriage. It's a long hard row to hoe!! But in many ways , it's worth the effort.

Sighing rhyming wishes eh,! Stability is a genuine and beneficial wish in love. I didn't understand the '.children steps stairs line'. Yet the rest made for a superb read. Nice to read from u again.
