            To D.G.                            3-20-79
                 A hundred reasons not to cry -- why
            should I feel like I want to die?  So much
            of me I want to give and so much of life I
            want to live.
                 Number 1 -- it's NOT me.  His ex-wife
            he'd rather see.  Perhaps her hold upon
            him now is stronger than when they took
            vows.
                 So hard I try to not let down, I very
            seldom make a sound.  I do know though the
            hurt is real and jealousy I hate to feel.
            Am I playing just to win?  NO, that would
            be too great a sin.
                 Perhaps I am a risky one to put too
            heavy feelings on.  Another man in my life
            strong and then there's school that's
            coming on.
                 Softly, should I fly away even though
            [in] my heart he's stay?
                 It's true there are no guarantees but
            of life's treasures, none come free.

      Dear DG,
           The burden has lifted, he's taken some off.  Again he came
      through so no more am I blue.
           It all got to be too much to bear.  Life itself seems so
      unfair.  bruised ego caused by my boss left me confused.  How I
      hate so to lose.  Ernie's understanding ways, support and all
      have left me dazed.
           But then I dropped in to talk a bit, and felt myself rise
      from that deep dreary pit.
           Sue has entered into his life and still he deeply loves
      his wife.
           Jim has entered my life too, and then my love for Ted's
      not new.
           The love I give always not free, but tonight with him I'd
      rather be!
                       Thanks for being you!
                          Love,
                             Kathleen
