A Poet's Dozen Ii-First Date

A Poet's Dozen II-First Date Sponsor: Silent One hallways before class eye contact, chills up my spine first date, Friday night Exhilarated, I stare out the window looking for your old blue camaro, I sway my long hair to the side, hand on my knee as I turn up the radio. Hands held tight in school with sweet kisses on my cheek, One look at you and I suddenly believed in true love at first sight. Twenty years and counting of love letters and hand written journals, I recall your scent at the alter right before we said our vows, We were always right, baby, when we said our love would be eternal, A precious baby girl with a beauty mark underneath her right eyebrow, Twenty more years to come, we'll share a lifetime of love..profound. Date Written: December 23, 2015

this is sure sweet. What a wonderful love poem. And you married your sweetheart from school days? wow. One funny thing. Right after you mentioned the baby girl, you said "twenty more to come" and I thought you meant babies. OH MY, I hope you meant years!!! (but I do know of a few women who had around 20 babies!)

oops! thank you I just made a correction, that was very confusing! Yes I was 15 he was 18, and now I'm 35 and we couldn't be happier. He's all I've ever known, and I love that. If he died, I would live alone, there is no one out there for me...Thanks :)
