A second chance at love,

My Seconds By Kathy Lynn My firsts I had when very young Too young to really understand That there was much more to love Than just being with a man My firsts was a dream unfulfilled No Cinderella ending; no glass slipper No Prince to hold me and caress No starry eyes; tears that whimper My firsts shredded all my dreams Feelings fled within a shell A soul emptied of all it felt A open heart, no place to dwell You are my seconds After years of drought Your patience and tenderness Showed me what love was all about You are my seconds Awakening all my dormant senses My hart rejoiced and quickened Shedding all its defenses You are my seconds, Knocking down all my defenses Reveling in these new feelings Knocking down hard made fences You are my seconds, My soul rejoices in the light Opening yourself all to me Stars could never shine this bright You are my seconds Fulfilling my every dream Showing me with your heart What true love really means

Love isn't always what one may expect and when young physical sensations overrule what is in the heart and what is in the mind and later, later with maturity we find that all isn't laid out for the world to see but so often, maybe most often the emotions felt for those that have, at least minimally matured are deeper and longer lasting, maybe even for a lifetime. Well stated, Kathy.
Your friend, Mark
