Epigram
Ode to a New Old Love
A Summation of February 1958 to December 13, 1973
It’s her first night on the town, single and alone,
Her marriage had ended, and now she moans,
He was unfaithful, making her decision a must,
Her marriage had ended, and now she moans,
He was unfaithful, making her decision a must,
She couldn't live with a man betraying her trust.
She has her independence but wants a loving man,
She has her independence but wants a loving man,
To take her in his arms and give her reason to trust again,
She'd rather have someone’s love and devotion,
With a pure, true love that was his motivation.
She'd rather have someone’s love and devotion,
With a pure, true love that was his motivation.
A man who will be faithful and never let her down,
But love her as his princess and give her a crown,
But love her as his princess and give her a crown,
She thinks back in time when the moon was full and bright,
Meeting an eighteen-year-old at her sister’s late one night.
They listened to music, and their young hearts fell in love,
Made plans to marry as the stars twinkled above,
But with circumstances and in another time,
She lost him, and he lived only in her mind.
She lost him, and he lived only in her mind.
Fifteen years later there is a random phone call,
And he magically appears, handsome as ever, dark and tall,
A planned friendly meeting, but with one innocent kiss,
She discovered the love and the life she had missed!
A planned friendly meeting, but with one innocent kiss,
She discovered the love and the life she had missed!
Now at 30 and 33, finding each other was mystical,
They were 450 miles apart, and she knew it was a miracle,
With his devoted true love, she gives him complete trust,
This time she will hold on to him, she really must.
She did not know that love could be so heavenly,
It was a real True Passion! Intensely and Unbelievably,
When he asked her to marry, she gladly said 'Yes,'
She knew this Love was the real thing to confess.
Now a woman, instead of the girl from yesterday,
Now a woman, instead of the girl from yesterday,
She’s a lady in love with a new outlook to stay,
She never thought her dream would come true in her lifetime,
But said, "I’m in love with this amazing man, and he’s really mine.”
Alas, she’s a woman who found her long lost love,
But said, "I’m in love with this amazing man, and he’s really mine.”
Alas, she’s a woman who found her long lost love,
Now, his arms hold her with the kiss of a snow-white dove,
As they ride off into the beautiful sunset to make a new life,
Just the two of them with an enchanting union as husband and wife.
Just the two of them with an enchanting union as husband and wife.
