Joyful Reckoning
As I look back on those days of Joyful Reckoning,
I shed a tear,
I had a wife once and she was the best thing since pancakes, eggs, and sausage,
But I was a confused man, tormented by fears that I did not understand,
And so I lost her,
But as soon as the sun rises,
My love for her never dies,
I just love her differently,
My 3 queens I used to call them,
For my love for my ex-wife and 2 daughters is a rare thing indeed,
You can let go of a relationship,
You can accept divorce,
But you can’t let go of love,
For love is the fuel of all that is beautiful and wondrous in this realm,
As I look back on those days of Joyful reckoning,
I shed a tear,
I had a wife once, and she was the best thing since pancakes, eggs, and sausage.
But I was a confused man, tormented by fears that I didn’t understand,
And so I lost her,
But her love for me did not die,
And now we are friends who pray for her new family on Wednesdays.
You can let go of a relationship,
You can accept divorce,
But you cannot let go of love,
For love is the fuel of all that is beautiful and wondrous in this realm.
I am a a man of great chaos, for I am berated by shadows that I do not understand.
But in my heart there is great love.
Even God tells me so.
And so I just put one foot in front of the other, one next right thing after one next right thing,
Until the sunshine warms my face with a rainbow beside it.
As I look forward to what awaits me,
I ponder on those coming days of Joyful Reckoning,
And I shed a tear.
