Thirty Years Later

.
.
Hello Margaret ,
it's been thirty years to the day

Gee , I would like to ask how you are
but that seems silly now anyway

Hard to believe it's been thirty years
to the exact day

Thirty years since you took your life away


Angel is all grown up now
with two children of her own and
another on the way

I asked her if she wanted to come but
she just looked down and said ,
"Tell her I love her."

It still bothers her unfortunately


Me ?
Well I grieved for years and finally
crawled out of my hole

I met Ann and she has made me whole

You know I love her as much as I loved you
It's just another kind of love ,
different from the love I had for you


She's waiting over their inside the car
She understands how I feel and will
always be that way

We have children now , two of our own
I think you would love them
if it was left to God alone


But it's not about me that brings
me here today

I just had to see you and just
wanted to say

That I still love you and
will never change my way

And for some strange reason
I thought I would hear from you
saying you feel the same way too

    I can't imagine going through something like this. Finding real love is hard. Finding it twice is beautiful. I respect this write greatly.

    MV... it is hard to grasp the true definition of "love"... love is ever changing and is never the same from one person to the next... to have found true love twice in one lifetime is extremely rare indeed! I felt the pain of this piece, but it was a pain that has been tempered with the knowledge that you will meet again because of your beliefs... I applaud you, Sir! ~worm~

    Even in their death we still want answers ... In spite of the suicide that left [perhaps you and yours?] people very close and dear devastated, they continue to live and breathe with the trauma unfortunately still there. Quite the sadden observation.
