Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Hopefully Not

I let it slip away 
My first marriage...that is 
For reasons why 
Well, that's none of your biz

But I will tell you one thing 
I would do it again 
Just as sure as the ink flows 
From the point of my pen
  
I let it slip away 
My second marriage...to date 
Twice was enough 
Some of you can relate
 
Would I marry again 
Send out the alarm 
You know what they say 
"Three times is a charm" 

Will I let it slip away 
With the new women I had choose 
Truth, be it told
The lord only knows 

Hopefully not,
 
I loved her so 
I loved her so
 
I love her so...

Victor Buhagiar May 2, 2023 at 1:26 AM Pity you had to divorce. Charles Messina May 2, 2023 at 5:21 AM Yes indeed. But the bright side is, is that I now have to fine sons from my 2nd marriage.

Michelle Faulkner May 1, 2023 at 3:55 PM My dad was divorced twice, but he and his third wife have been happy together now for over a decade, so don't lose hope! Charles Messina May 2, 2023 at 5:23 AM Thanks for the encouragement, Michelle. Like they say... "3 times a charm"

Darlene De Beaulieu May 1, 2023 at 11:03 AM Hello Charles Messina, I hope you are happy with marriage number 3. Some men are not happy with wife number 3. So they cheat. Enjoy ytour day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu May 2, 2023 at 10:42 AM Hello Charles, yes some of them do cheat. You know Charles I waited a long time to be married. O our fourth year of marriage he did cheat. I was shocked and the i lost my ftrst in him. I was faithful. Enjoy your day my friend. Charles Messina May 2, 2023 at 5:26 AM Hi Darlene, Wife number three is not my wife, just my girlfriend for 10 years. One thing I have never done in any relationship, is cheat. But you are right, quite a few do.

Daniel Turner May 1, 2023 at 6:51 AM Love is easily found but a lot harder to hold on to. Like the song says, fools rush in:) Good read, Charlie Charles Messina May 2, 2023 at 5:27 AM Yes, I am living proof (lol) Thanks for commenting, Daniel. Much appreciated!

Paul Bell May 1, 2023 at 5:49 AM Sometimes practice makes perfect. I would keep at it. Love could just be hiding around the corner. Charles Messina May 2, 2023 at 5:29 AM I'm not a quitter, Paul. Never was, never will be. I think I may have found a winner :) Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated!
