** EUPHORIA **

I was only 15 when I refused your ring -
"going steady" with you - was not the thing
for me....

I was only 17 when I fell for you -
Though I had promised myself I'd wait until
35 years of age or older.

I was only 18 when we first "Wed"
even though the writing on the wall - left dread -
when you joined the Army that Fall....

I was only 19, when I bore your son,
while you were gone away.  
I was only 25 when you broke my heart -
leaving me with your 4 kids - that day.

I was only a child within my heart -
when you crushed my petals and ran -  
To the safety of your other world
that perverted and callous cruel Land.

And here I sit at an older age -
Looking back at all that life -
of wasted times and useless Lies -  
and I wonder if any was right..

But I learned a lot from men like you -
but I also learned to wait -  
For the best of Love and the Best of Life
is now here at my gate.

So I open the door and let him in -  
I hold no bars or grudges -  
and I smile at night when the moon is bright
and I feel his suggestive nudges.....
