Life's Great Loss Twice

My mum was my greatest friend stuck by me through thick and thin in my late 20s, she passed away this knocked me right on my chin She left ground rules for me to live by so my eyes to see 18 months later the love of my life Jean took flight to heaven above married bliss for a sweet 10 months now single again life can be tough In those times the Lord touched my soul drew me to Himself made me whole (The loss of my mother and my first wife Jean within space of 18 months in 1981/82 was mighty hard at the time but the good Lord brought me through and in looking back be grateful for His grace and mercy to me. I've now been very happily married to Christine for 28 years.)
