Second Time Around By Larry Chadwick I flirted with the thought of you, Just shortly after we had met. It seemed that it was inevitable, But you insisted on persuasion and yet… To me it seemed that it was timing, So convinced that you’d be mine. Undaunted by the odds of the future, But not defiant for fear I’d confine. A tight rope of intent to lay claim, On what I genuinely desired. Walking that line without a net, Taking the chance as hope required. Effort applied to a hope of yearning, True to the heart of deep love. Hoping and praying and pursuing, Wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove. Mission accomplished at long last, Signifying the beginning not the end. Fresh love met with fresh vigor, Hearts ready and willing to mend. April 14, 2002 |

Nancy Lee, And what a wonderful morning. Thanks for the cheery note! Mushy, I didn't think a wench or someone so closely connected to one could even understand jealousy! LOL You know it should be of concern if I am connected in anyway to perfect, no? But thank you always for such generous and kind words. I can't stop appreciating them. Sy, Well...you know hind site is 20/20! LOL And thanks. Noah, You don't know this personally...but second marriage relationships are less tolerant than first marriage relationships. So you expect more and tolerate less. It makes no sense, however, if you get past those issues, (as a dear friend of mine says) woohoo! Thanks. Ivy Rose, Thank you man. Those are very kind words. I appreciate them very much. |
