At one time it seemed impossible,

To be someone else’s wife when I only thought of myself as his.

I didn’t know what it would feel like,

To call another man husband when he had always been mine.

And now as time has healed and I began to understand,

That I had to open myself to be married again.

A new stepping stone on my journey has been laid out before me,

And I lept, unsure of my footing but I made it.

I will always look back and honor and appreciate each stone that got me where I am.

And now I can embrace it,

Being a wife again and knowing that he’s ok with it too.

And now I can move forward,

Because of all the things he taught me.
