Happy Divorce Day

Congratulations, friend of mine, for getting back on course, And for the sense of joy you found in getting your divorce, We sometimes try an alibi to justify our fate, But you have turned your life around by casting off your mate. We know how hard it must have been to put up with that crap, But you persisted in your wish to wake up from that trap, You stood up for your rights and said that you would not be bossed, But now you know that life is great for someone you have lost. We know how hard that life can be when you are with a jerk, The kind of life you had at home was not as fun as work, Your closest friends are here today to celebrate with you, To stand around and gossip in the way that sisters do. The pleasures of a joyful life are what we need to know, For life is made of memories that happy people grow, And nourished by the tender part of what we do and say, For anything is possible when passion is in play. There may be days when you believe that love is like a hoax, A journey through the maze of love is more than who you coax, But if you help your partner out then maybe you will see, That love is like a well that springs from generosity. Today your heart is free again to flirt with life itself, To make the best of your unrest by leaping from the shelf, The Bozo who you left behind may call you for a date, But you just crossed the finish line and not the starting gate.
