There was a time
when roses did not bloom
his heart did not have room
for Cupid's rhyme.
Life was unkind
he felt a captive of
a marriage without love
that numbed the mind
Through time and space
he sought his other half
the wit, the song, the laugh,
the smiling face.
Now comes the change
no poem can express
a new found happiness
how sweet, yet strange.
From worlds apart
he found a kindred soul
but distance takes a toll
upon the heart.
Some lucky day
perhaps they'll understand
that everything's been planned
along the way ....
