my third marriage

my third marriage is wonderful maybe it’s because I finally grew up

I know it’s because I finally got lucky

I know it’s because I see her and love her all the time

the way she loves me more and more time and time again

we love being together

we have fun together without even trying

love just being one    two us and our cat Willow

people who see us dancing

.  .  .

the women come over and say I had to come over and tell you how much we’ve enjoyed watching you

one woman at a street dance

at the Blues Fest on Saturday night everybody dances on Main Street

she asked us how long we’d known each other her boyfriend guessed 10 minutes she thought it must be 20 years

that was our 5th year together

my third marriage is wonderful and I’m lucky forever and ever

amen
