TRY, TRY AGAIN

You came along when I was low.  Showed me a new path I could go.

You made me laugh and have some fun.  And so a new life had begun.

Dining, dancing, concerts too, plays and opera to go with you.

You brought me flowers and wrote me notes,

You made me feel life still had hopes.

I never meant to wed again, but you convinced me we could win.

So many things we both did like.  I told the job to take a hike.

We had not known each other long, I hoped this leap would not be wrong.

It wasn't easy to adjust, our different habits made us fuss.

We've hurt each other more than once.

At times I feel like such a dunce.

But still this stubborness we show can be a friend as well as foe.

It keeps us trying day by day to make it work.  We'll find a way.

I wasn't sure I would survive.  But here we've come upon year five.

I thank you for the things you've done

And hope you will forgive me, Hon.

I don't mean to make you sad.  I'm sorry if I'm sometimes bad.

Life is full of give and take.  We'll compromise for goodness sake.

Let's count our blessings one by one,

And give our marriage another run.
