Being In Love and Building a Love

Roughnecking in Texas was a bachelor's life Social by nature, not looking for a wife A chance encounter, at a stop sign was she Eyes kissed, hearts danced, we knew instantly Like harbinger daffodils foretelling of spring Together, sharing dreams, our future was seen We struggled at first, adjusting to change Birth of a love, brings harsh growing pains Both were determined, to persevere and succeed Using lessons we'd learned, from fails previously Respect, understanding, compromise and passion That first year together was anything but magic Giving of love, taking same of Standing firm when the ground was shaking Over hills of remiss through valleys of bliss A warm comforter in times of heartbreaking With the hardness of a love, to build a foundation forever And the tenderness of love, to fulfill dreamed endeavors That first year of trials we built a family foundation Which served years to come for our next generation Feb. 1- 2016 an original poem by Daniel Turner
