We Learn As We Live

She was so in love with him on the day she became  his wife
She thought that their marriage it would  last for life
But love  can have it's heartaches as some like to say
And she is far wiser than she was today

Her marriage to him only lasted two years
For the  love of  another he left her in tears
He left her for to raise their child on her own
The tougher side of life  she is one who has known

Her son lives in London last year he turned twenty three
It has  been over two years since him she last see
But he sometimes phones her and each week without fail
They keep in contact online by email

Though the passage of time on the  features does tell
For one in her late  forties she looks rather well
Though she has some gray in her hair of light brown
Two decades ago one of the beauties of the town

It can be said of her once bitten twice shy
Since she will not give  marriage  another try
She does seem quite happy in her own company
We learn as we live that's how it seems to be.
