My Last True Love I Have Found By Rick Rucker My last true love I have found, Amazing, as I was lying on the ground As the previous one died, Some months ago, and still I cried. So many feelings tied to death, So many tears at her last breath. So it was with my wife, When she lost her fight for life. Ever concerned with my good, She checked the local neighborhood, She tried to find for me, A wife for when she was free Of Earthly care, a worthy one for a wife Who would love me all her life. While I am happy that she tried Between us, no love, although we tried. I looked all around to find a friend So my sleepless nights would end. After an earnest quest, I chose the one that I thought best. She and I both had a need, Away from loneliness we would lead Each other, first we would be friends Each hoping that it never ends. We each thought that if it progressed not, We’d be thankful for what we got. Imagine my surprise, When first I did realize That I had found, against all chance, The woman that loved my Romance, She sees that I will gladly stay, That I will not run away From all the problems that life can bring, Whether with, or without a ring. My love for her began a fire, I threw my loneliness on the pyre That I could find Love again, Made me the luckiest of men. To find Love a second time, If I lost it, that would be a crime. I did not believe that I would hear, The words “I love you” in my ear. She had been burned before, Found that phrase a loathsome chore. When she’d said it in the past, Though she hoped, it didn’t last. I wished for guidance to let her see That her heart was safe with me. That I did not mean her harm, That we’d march through Time, arm in arm. Finally, on a date She said it to me straight As her lips did part, Her words gently kissed my heart. I was completely stunned, In Love’s rays, I gladly sunned. A life of Love is not a sprint; The first few feet are but a hint. The course, you are finally on, The beginning of a marathon. I’m currently in this race Fueled by the Love on her face. I know that I’m not a perfect guy, But that I will always try To let her know That the happy glow That I see in her smile, Will keep me running, mile by mile She shall never have to doubt What I am all about Though the race might make me thinner By the end, she will be a winner!
