Men have come and gone,
As the moon rises to give way to dawn,
Two stay with me,
Into my eternity.
One made me cower,
To obey his command and cringe at his power.
One held me tenderly
And healed me completely.
To one I bore three children,
For all the work; the joy they've been.
One gave them light and laughter,
Only to turn and fade ever after.
With them both there was hope and desire,
Until reality came to put out the fire.
After the first time
I did not believe my broken heart could shine.
And after the last one-
It is not for me to wonder...
I know what true love feels like
To be so desired is just right.
I have felt it once...
and cannot wait to again feek its touch...
