Life for me began in the
Loving arms of my birthmother
Only to be stolen away
Raised in loving arms of another
Both my mothers
A secure place within my heart
A place earned with love
And from them I’ll never part
At the start of 5th grade in school
A new kind of love I found
The magnet pull I’d never known
A feeling between the stars and ground
The feeling of being ravished
As this new love devoured me
Consumed with elation
Never so happy
All this
From a young girl’s smile
Oh, how my heart fell in first love
Unmatched on countless sundials
Now, many years have passed
Since that very first day
And at sixty-four years old
Still, I feel the same way
Where she is today, I know not
But she’s the love of my life
In a life blessed with love
Whether or not my wife

- Comment from author about the poem: Many a man has scoffed at the thought of being a romantic. But love for one woman will be his biggest weakness, while also his greatest strength. Sharon taught me this over the last 53 years.
