From two pasts to a Future

My Grandma recently remarried. Grandpa passed away several years ago, and Grandma moved to Klamath Falls, Or to be near her daughter. My Grandpa’s brother’s wife passed away a year or so ago, and upon a visit with my Grandma, they decided that they didn’t want to be alone anymore, so they decided to get married. Now the cute part of the situation is that they have fallen in love, so the marriage of convenience, for companionship has turned into more than they expected. I’m happy that my Grandma is happy, even though the situation *Could* seem a bit Jerry Springerish! (not really, but almost…know what I mean ;-) ).

Anyway, Mom is putting together an scrapbook to celebrate their wedding and mentioned that it would be nice to have a poem to include in it (Definitely more than a mention, like a suggestion nay, demand…you know how moms are, their suggestions and demands are one in the same, they just make you think you have an option.)

So here is the results of that *Ahem* request! Let me know what you think!

From two pasts to a Future
By Kat Mosher

A lifetime of memories shared, now united.
A lifetime friendship, in love now bound.
Two lifetimes past, now one future.
Two hearts beating, now one sound.

Their pasts were interlaced,
Now their future is entwined,
Their loved ones lost,
Are never “left behind”

The losses they’ve had,
They’ve shared from different views;
But the ties of the past
Bring a future anew.

Possibilities lie ahead,
Filled with memories from before.
Heart to heart, and hand in hand,
Their new future they’ll explore.

Familiarity blossomed sparks,
And Respect, a mighty wind,
Fueled the sparks into love
And the fire grew within.

Friendship and companionship,
Love and respect,
Memories and time,
Made their lives connect.

Alone no longer.
New ventures to share,
This love from friendship,
Joined a special pair.
