A Second Marriage Gift
By Peggy Mullett
A coming together of lives,
A helping, a healing,
Together with feeling.
The real meaning of husbands and wives.
Of long walks and honest talks,
Of repairs and no “airs”
Songs on a hillside,
And always side-by-side,
No more alone but now “pairs”.
Of Christmas trees and memories,
Dutch plates and lunch dates,
Flights of fancy and real.
The way to a heart can be part
Of a start and always is more
Than a meal.
All this is what makes it
Easy to take it; the work,
And the fears and the years.
Together in loving, admiring and giving
This is my gift to you, CHEERS!
