A VALENTINE FOR YOU
I once had a love that stood the test of time
Knowing that forever he would be mine
Sharing love, memories, a life with another
And then with you, I became a mother
4 children we share forever, for life
All because you made me your wife
My hero, my lover, my husband, my friend
A love I knew would last until our end
The ups and downs, with you by my side
Through thick and thin, and me as your bride.
The feeling of tenderness that came from the heart
In sickness and health, till death do us part
The love had grown, changed over time
Stressed from life’s demands, yours and mine
We walked different paths, you and me
Both of us knowing that was not the way to be
The path grew larger, and the love became more distant
And choices were made in an unthoughtful instant
A call came that shook that love to the core
To hear that my lover had strayed for more
And left me with heartache, disbelief, shock and pain
The denial, the anger, the sadness, and the shame
The tears that flowed that day could have filled a sea
And I sat and wondered if we were ever meant to be
The man I loved had shared his love with a stranger
Forsaking his vows, putting our family in danger
The reasons I am given do not begin to cover
How his choices lead to the bed of a new lover
Being left with the pieces of a puzzle undone
I sat and wondered, was there more I could have done
Now time stands still, even and calm
How can he show her he never meant any harm?
His choice, not hers was hurtful and wrong
To decide to betray the bonds of loves true song
Now their love is broken and shattered
And she sits and she wonders if she ever did matter
Now it is time for him to make amends
To show her that they can actually be friends.
To do what is right, to love her and cherish her
To be a better man, husband, friend, and partner
The road will be difficult, the path may be dark
The light will be shining, to lead to my heart
