40 years of Love and Hate!

There is a bridge above a river
that sits between Love and Hate.This bridge is build from
wonderful memories and plenty
of hate, Sometimes Love sneaks over
and touches Hate, and once
in a while so does Hate.
The bridge was build to separate,
the warring factions of Love and Hate,Finally it happens the bridge dissipates.
You still have your Love, but also your Hate,The challenge of years has finally been met.Love and Hate, it all seems insane, but for me,
it all seems to work.

(for my lovely wife who I adore!)

Jess,

I read it to Her in front of witness in case she took it the wrong way, and try to kill me, LOL! She loved it!! She has saved a lot of my poetry when we where courting, But she won't let me have it. She says it's not for the world. I guess she's right. Thanks, Eddie
