Thank You Letter To My Ex-Wife

I learned to be stronger
I am better by far
By leaving your orbit
with nary a scar

I'm a better man for it
I'm glad that we met
But, I'm thankful for all
that I lost on the bet

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce

I am stronger and nicer
I now know how to share
I do things without asking
And I know to be fair

That I have to say thank you
Because if we were still one
I'm sure that I'd have gone
and sucked on a gun

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce

I just had to say this
Thank you for the time
I am now very happy
And have been a long time

I'm a much better person
Than I was when with you
So I feel it is fair
That I tell you thank you

I want to say thank you
For coming into my life
Because now that you're missing
I have found a new wife
If I had not met you
I'd have gone on a course
That might not have ended
With our resulting divorce

Quite revealing and as they say-- truth will set you free. Both my ex-wives set me on the course to the soulmate I have now been blessed with for 14 wonderful years...

You are very brave and honest. I am the biggest chicken! I'm wishing for a rainbow, in somebody else's cloud... Nicely done.

Hello Roger, so happy to hear that you have a better wife now. I have a question: Where can I find the poem Lavender by William Carr? I was looking for it,but did not find it. Thank you.
