My calendar reminds me
That many years ago
My Once Wife drew first breath
And first faced the day.
Almost 50 years hence
We were wed
13 at the small event
Surely an omen
Of things yet to come
But four boys came forth
And almost 25 long years
Mixed with blessings and tears
Followed by times harsh
That distanced us both
But after some years
Reconnection did grow
Through issues shared
Family crises for one
Family events another
Until Now Wife can say
On a recent Christmas day
Let‘s have a photo
Of Brian and his two Wives
And all laugh
And photo shared.
It doesn’t always this way go
And some find it strange
But I am very happy
I can now share with her
On each special day
