Lessons in Love

When she was young she fell
in love at the drop of a hat
with the very first man that
professed he loved her as well.

Infatuation. It didn’t last.

When she was older and wiser
she took it very slow.
She wanted to know
he would never despise her.

It didn’t work. That’s in the past.

But now in her golden years
she’s learned not to chance.
another romance
and she is spared many tears.

She got a dog. Love unsurpassed.
