Re-Start

Re-start
     
You came one day
I loved your stay
And the sweet way

You took my heart
Ah, Cupid's dart!
And love did start.

A lifetime “play”
And I must say
That love does pay.

You drove my heart
Gave a jump-start.
Filled my love cart.

But then one day
You went away
What could I say?

I kneel to pray
And God did say
Some leave that way.

We got divorced.
No fight of course.
Hidden remorse.

Time to restart.
And mend this heart.
Oh, work of art.

The day love came.
True love drew pain.
I'm not the same.

Your hurt was vile.
But I can smile.
And dream with style.

New love has grown.
There is no moan.
I'm not alone.

Re-Start


Dedicated to my one and only Soul-mate.
Who along with God lifted me through the pain.
And then, true love remained.  Forever.
