reflections
for penny
many ladies
there have been
in my life
who have graced me
with their charms
& held me so
sweetly
for so long
as warmth remained
but only three
have shared the burden
of my daily ways
my first love lasted
thirteen long years
thru all sorts of hell
until things got better
& then she was gone,
my dear wife & the mother
of my two lovely daughters.
my second love i wed
in common law
in 1979, & in 81
& in 82, & again in 84
four times around & now
it's the two of us to stay.
my third love lasted
no more than a year
& then she threw me out. so
like they say, you win some
& you lose some
& if fate is good to you, some
good woman will take you in
& love you as long as she can
