Redemption

Cold, the chapel where he and I wed,
cold, the reception after,
cold, the family I joined,
cold, body and soul were lost.

Lost, my faith in unity,
lost, my good times after,
lost, my hope for pleasures shared,
lost, my past, alone.

Alone, I yearned for faith again,
alone, I wandered after,
alone, in child visitations I ached,
alone, waiting to be found.

Found, my faith was restored,
found, I waited after,
found, our families were introduced,
found, we two were joined.

Joined, we were in summer’s warmth,
joined, we are together,
joined, our blended families,
joined, you and I, forever.
