The Second Time Around by Mark Spencer

Here in the twilight of my years,
I am blessed a second time,
With love that serves to ease my tears.
It’s beauty so sublime.

I shan't forget what came before,
For that defined my life.
These memories do I adore,
When I was my first love's wife.

But his wish, it would never be,
That I remain alone.
To face the time now left to me,
Forlorn and on my own.

And so I pledge my love again,
Until death do us part.
To one who's been my faithful friend,
For he has earned my heart.

Love is a rare and precious thing,
As many can attest.
A gift for which the Angels sing,
That twice I've now been blessed.

This Poem is dedicated Vera Starr.
Who will, on April 19, read it for her wedding.

The Wedding Went Off Without A Hitch.
Vera and Jim were married yesterday at 2:20 pm. She's 72 and Jim is 68. It was my honor to write the vows for both of them. May God bless them for the rest of their days. And I thank God for the blessing of having known them. They are both wonderful people.
