Loving Through the Miles
Having loved my first wife from afar
Jean and I lived many miles apart
so we penned letters to each other
every week we wrote from the heart
For a year this carried on
before deciding on a date
then we grew to love each other
before entering the marriage state
You learn so much about each other
in these letters before you meet
truly knowing inside the person
allowing them to sweep you off your feet
As the famous saying aptly tells
absence makes the heart grow fonder
every weekend couldn't come quick enough
for Jean and I our bond grew stronger
So long distance love can work
when the two are a real match
thinking of nobody else near or far
truly loving your one fond catch
(Just to explain Jean and I were married for less than a year before Jean passed away into Her Lord's presence in 1982, I've now been married to Christine now 25 years.)
