Bit Long In the Tooth!

He was told, "Yes, you have grounds for divorce!"
His new lawyer, said, "We will win...of course!"
A pretty 'filly' back then
But his love faded just when...
She had started to look more like a horse!

Okay...Sad that this is truth that some men's love isn't love after all...Suppose that there is a bit of humor here....Thanks for stopping by my blog and the prayers and encouraging words that you have given during this time..Sara
