It Only Takes
A Little Bit Of Lace
To Ruin A Marriage
Especially,
If You Remove It
From A Woman
In A Hotel Room
Who Isn’t Your Wife

Every night I count my blessings
and I‘m thankful for each one
’cause I know I‘ve not been promised
I‘ll see the rising sun
Every moment is so precious
every day is special too
but the memories that I treasure most
have all been made with you
You are the love I‘ve longed for
You are my dream come true
and I know each day
that I am Blessed
when I wake up next to you

There is nothing quite so wonderful as waking up with your BELOVED!!!

The suit I’d purchased for twenty-five quid
all I could afford at the time
just after my twentieth birthday
my life waiting there on the line
The tie was one of my fathers’
as were the shoes on my feet
His passing was five years too early
to see his son’s wedding complete
Now forty-one years have surrendered
themselves to the life we have led
since that day way back in seventy-nine
when Sally and Jeremy wed

Marriage for the sake of love
Is doubling down
On a sunk-cost investment.

Forty years ago today
I put my white suit on
The one I bought for twenty quid
in Jayson’s Menswear from
And the only tie I think I had
was a black one from my Dad
and a pair of his old shoes
I’d kept since I was just a lad

In seventy-nine
Forty Julys back
two kindred spirits wed
A fledgling love
grown stronger since
and deeper it’s been said

The world is often merciless,
And loved ones dispense hate.
But you, my angel, came to me,
And I became your refugee.

Back in nineteen seventy-nine
all those years ago
With me in white, my bride in blue
we walked in sunshine slow
A promise made, sealed with a kiss
the entourage they laughed
and in that moment, with applauds
we were wed at last

Can you still remember
That night in early September,
At the “3 cigs” pledge party,
On their decrepit couch?
How I drunkenly stumbled
Across the floor, and mumbled
An inebriated ice-breaker
About a polar bear?

When I was born, the Cosmos was young.
It’s exponential growth had scarcely begun.
As an infant, I learned to always ask, “Why?”
And the universe expanded with each reply.
Across the island of knowledge I began to crawl
And found not an edge or end, but endless sprawl.
Until, I heard something I knew was absurd.
Even though people called scientists avidly concurred
That the Cosmos was finite and several billion years old,
Who were they to limit what my universe could hold?
When, contrary to the revered “intellectuals’” thinking,
Visceral evidence told me, the Cosmos was shrinking.
