This is more a mind dumping than poem.
I was married 20 years ago today.
It was my second marriage.
My first only lasted 9 months.
I was 35 the first time and
37 the second.
I always say sometimes you need a learners permit.
Here I am 20 years down the road of life
of course many many bumps and holes in that road
But now that I look back
each and every bump and hole was a learning experience
But I never thought that I would be a widower
with a 15 year old son.
Tears well up as I type this just thinking back
Questions come up everyday since she is gone
What effect does this have on my son
I know what it has had on me
I feel as if I have been in a fog
And sometimes I wonder if it will ever lift
I have started to look for another lady in my live
I am too young to be alone the rest of my life
The sequel to ‘Must Love Dogs’ will be my dating life
I really don’t know where this is going
I just know there are many out there
who have gone through what I have
To answer my own title question
No I never thought I would be in this situation
at 57 having my wife taken at 48
So to all of you that have been there done that
You know how I feel
Thanks
