Incredible Ride

There’s something in the air, this feeling so different.
A chance meeting, a job… no other intent.
Something seems peaceful, so happy, this feeling…content.
For some reason… you…a gift, God sent.

I have traveled abroad and deep, deep inside.
Searching for it- yet “It” seemed to hide.
Many a night, different partners, still going on this ride.
Creating intense passion, new women--flow like the tide

I settled once, could find happiness elsewhere.
Stuck by me… when others really couldn’t care.
I said “ I do”- even though I didn’t- with much fanfare.
Empty marriage, pretending to be any other “where”.

Tens, maybe hundreds of these women did I bed.
Thought I could find happiness outside she, whom I wed.
Chance meetings would end with passion flowing deep red.
“No more…this lacks integrity”, this is what I said.

I finally chose to fix my choice mistake.
Change my life, opening my heart, is what it will it take.
This feeling, so empty, no longer continue to fake.
Please forgive me Lord, I pray me, you will not forsake.

I worried about the kids, what would others say.
I struggled to find peace, just one happy day.
God sent me Donna, she did spark, this new foray.
Opened my eyes, thawed my heart… feelings are frayed.

During the breaking of that holy ring.
Came into my own, learned many a thing.
I chose not to choose, my heart no longer could sing.
Started to wonder how numb, how long, was the sting.

The journey I took was really quite another.
To feel all the feelings, this was my druther.
To do something different, something, than other.
The pain so great, I cried, “Help me, Oh Father.”

Older and younger the women kept a coming.
In moments of ecstasy, my heart was a running.
When the sweat had dried, finished with the cunning.
My heart empty, listen to the cries, continual humming.

The time had come, time to realize my lot.
Me in love… in the cards… maybe it’s not.
I’ll just be Dad, and thank you, that’s quite a lot.
To find my love- forget it, it’s naught.

Then God brought me help, with work and with kids.
I needed assistance, my stress, please help me rid.
So Lindsey did come, and come oh she did.
My little princess, 24 hours, I felt giddy like a kid.

One day became Two, and then it was three
We spent time together Lindsey, the kids and me
My heart beat faster, beauty, did my eyes see
I wanted to hold her, to touch her, to let these feelings free.

The emotions grew, I had to tell her how I feel
These feelings and emotions, they seemed so unreal
Could she be the one, to love-helping my heart heal?
Ready to quit, and then God sent me the real deal!

I shared my thoughts with this special lady
Worried because her mom thought me somewhat shady
My heart skipped some beats…feeling somewhat fraidy
I’m either in love or boy am I crazy

I spoke and we kissed, she felt this too
My heart was a flutter, not knowing what to do.
A few days later, magic words- said, “I Love You”
The happiest I’ve been- she said, “Love you too”

It wasn’t long before God tapped my shoulder
He gave me a gift, its time to be bolder
All this love that I feel, I finally told her
My heart continued to thaw, getting less colder and colder

I realize that I’ve been given a blessed life
Learned from the past and moved beyond the strife
Healing my heart, removing the knife
I love you Lindsey, Please be my wife.

What God joins together, let no man bring asunder
My heart is yours, let’s live a life of wonder
Our passion will ring out and spangle like thunder
The one made for me—I will not squander

I am committed to you my beautiful bride
I feel so blessed my heart open wide
The rest of my life with you by my side
I love you baby, We will have an incredible ride!!
