I have fallen in love
|
with the same woman three times;
|
In a day spanning 19 years
|
of tearful joys and joyful tears.
|
|
I loved her first when she was young,
|
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
|
She was brilliant, fragrant,
|
and cool as the morning dew.
|
|
I fell in love with her the second time;
|
when first she bore her child and mine
|
always by my side, the source of my strength,
|
helping to turn the tide.
|
|
But there were candles to burn
|
the world was my concern;
|
while our home was her domain.
|
and the people were mine
|
while the children were hers to maintain;
|
|
So it was in those 18 years and a day.
|
'till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.
|
|
Suddenly she's our sole support;
|
source of comfort,
|
our wellspring of Hope.
|
On her shoulders felt the burden of Life.
|
|
I fell in love again,
|
with the same woman the third time.
|
Looming from the battle,
|
her courage will never fade
|
|
Amidst the hardships she has remained,
|
undaunted and unafraid.
|
she is calm and composed,
|
she is God's lovely maid.
