Thank You Letter To My Ex-Wife

I learned to be stronger I am better by far By leaving your orbit with nary a scar I'm a better man for it I'm glad that we met But, I'm thankful for all that I lost on the bet I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce I am stronger and nicer I now know how to share I do things without asking And I know to be fair That I have to say thank you Because if we were still one I'm sure that I'd have gone and sucked on a gun I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce I just had to say this Thank you for the time I am now very happy And have been a long time I'm a much better person Than I was when with you So I feel it is fair That I tell you thank you I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce

Quite revealing and as they say-- truth will set you free. Both my ex-wives set me on the course to the soulmate I have now been blessed with for 14 wonderful years...

You are very brave and honest. I am the biggest chicken! I'm wishing for a rainbow, in somebody else's cloud... Nicely done.

Hello Roger, so happy to hear that you have a better wife now. I have a question: Where can I find the poem Lavender by William Carr? I was looking for it,but did not find it. Thank you.
