Hopefully Not

I let it slip away My first marriage...that is For reasons why Well, that's none of your biz But I will tell you one thing I would do it again Just as sure as the ink flows From the point of my pen I let it slip away My second marriage...to date Twice was enough Some of you can relate Would I marry again Send out the alarm You know what they say "Three times is a charm" Will I let it slip away With the new women I had choose Truth, be it told The lord only knows Hopefully not, I loved her so I loved her so I love her so...

Yes indeed. But the bright side is, is that I now have to fine sons from my 2nd marriage.

My dad was divorced twice, but he and his third wife have been happy together now for over a decade, so don't lose hope!

Hello Charles, yes some of them do cheat. You know Charles I waited a long time to be married. O our fourth year of marriage he did cheat. I was shocked and the i lost my ftrst in him. I was faithful. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi Darlene, Wife number three is not my wife, just my girlfriend for 10 years. One thing I have never done in any relationship, is cheat. But you are right, quite a few do.

Love is easily found but a lot harder to hold on to. Like the song says, fools rush in:) Good read, Charlie

Sometimes practice makes perfect. I would keep at it. Love could just be hiding around the corner.

I'm not a quitter, Paul. Never was, never will be. I think I may have found a winner :) Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated!
