On that fateful Spring night
the music was so loud
that I could not quite hear
your whispers in my ear.
I nodded with my head
Feigning to be polite;
Little did I know that
I had signed up for life!
Fifty years together
were not an easy ride;
we have had our fair share
of taking life in stride.
I think it’s only fair
That I should now confide;
I wish I’d heard you better
On that fateful Spring night!
It took me 20 years to write about my first wife who died of breat cancer. Please feel free to view my website.
GOD bless you!
