Wife

I am 72 and soon to
Live with a woman
Close to my age,
I have loved two
Women who loved
Me back my wife
Of 52 years and
She with whom I
Will share my life
Living together as
Partners another
Leap of faith and
Trust that is love.
Each time I chose
For love rather than
Riches or fame or
Some other advantage,
I chose because their
Knowledge of art, literature
And music matched my own
Increasing my faith and trust
Until we both realized we were
In love and willing to make the
Commitment to live as one
Sharing our lives
Making a bigger
Family with
Whom to
Share
Our happiness
And the joy of watching
Children grow up
Knowing that
Family is a
Blessing.
And,
Spoil a bit
Our collective
Grandchildren
And progeny.
