Love Once Again
By Sharon L. Bratcher, 1994
I once knew love- it flourished so:
For years and years that love did grow.
So deep, so much a part of me.
Our souls, entwined devotedly.
O hateful death to rob me so!
The dark abyss of grief to know.
And endless days to face alone.
My future’s song to onward drone.
New Love! You understood this too.
Now each hour’s joy is traced to you.
Together we now grow as one
And celebrate new lives begun.
