to face the current circumstance;
and make it through the day!
Yes! Change is constant! All we have
can soon get grabbed away!

The deep devotion shared by
seemed stable and secure
but when she "moved on" I was jarred!
Such pain then did occur!

But when I sensed this, Casey still
assured me: there was hope!
He fin'lly got another chance;
Though, as expected? Nope!

But Lo! he once more got to bat
and this time did succeed!
He smacked the ball--he won the game!
From all that guilt, was freed!

It happened unexpectedly!
'Twas fully a surprise
to get this opportunity!
...Don't know, ahead, what lies!

I've used his fine example
to breed hopefulness in me.
In twenty years we'd reconnect;
A pair again, we'd be!

This line of thinking gave me much
assurance, then to hold!
I felt the present filled with loss
but sensed what would unfold

would bring me somewhere filled with peace;
where all would then be fine!
The faith I had that this would come
was such a blessed sign!

I grasped the feeling that sometime
we'd once more reunite.
And it has come but surely not,
the way I wished it might!

Ya never know what God will choose
to get you through a state!
Poor Casey must've given up
but suddenly, then fate

allowed his second chance to come;
to settle all his woes!
The path was surely a surprise;
but for him, it was chose!

I didn't get my preference
I longed for with Colette!
But like Ol' Casey, what I got
was meant for me to get!

We weren't re-paired in twenty years
but Lo! took place in three!
She died and I can visit her;
together, then are we!

...Can feel the joy contained within
the mem'ries, once again.
...Can feel the love we shared. It's just
as strong as it was then!
