His kids are beautiful!!!!
She was young, just 17
He was 21, just a little older
They were in love, like a dream
Together they learned about marriage and things
Like riding horses and motorcycles and paying bills
Together they filled up every hour
With special ideas of hopes, wishes and desires
They spent days at the beach, playing in the water
Moments in the woods, camping and talking
They shared a lifetime in those years, 23 in all
And found they could never have kids
Her one great desire
Arguments came and went
Sometimes they loved and other times hated
Splitting up for days only to return with a sparkle of hope
For the making up that would be like a passionate love affair
There lives were so entwined that they truly were one
When they stared into each other’s eyes
And what she didn’t know
Would that really hurt her anyhow?
Finally, the time came to pass
When the breaking up would last
A quick divorce would do – no sorrows, only the truth
Together, they didn’t linger on long good-byes
Only shed a few tears and called a few times
With no words, but only the mournful shreds
Of evidence of the pain that would never quite leave
Tears that tore at the souls…
Of those two who had spent so many years
Loving and living together in a dream world.
After some time had past and she had one too many drinks
She called him up to say hello
He answered with a worried tone
Quickly got to the point of his angst
He had a girlfriend and “She’s pregnant”
Having that baby that she never could have
And finally, the end was a beginning for him
For her, it was a little worse,
Yet, in time… she learned to like herself more
And became the friend she lost somehow
When she lost the man she loved for all those years
Through all those tears and fears
Through a lifetime of giving in to a love
That will forever live!
