Notes About The Poem

His Senior Prom - June 1956

Our Wedding Day, June 1958

First Date - Poet's Dozen

First Date - Poet's Dozen In high school, we met hand in hand we walked the halls he carried my books We went out to dinner on our first date. We talked, later kissed...each found our soul-mate. He was a senior, and I was a junior; it was on our first date when true love set in. He joined the Marines post graduation in June. Consumed by love, our hearts broke to part but still held together by cupid's harpoon. We met neath our moon, though miles apart. Two years later, we married...our new life to start. Sandra M.

Oh my gosh, I stared at the pictures for quite awhile before even reading. How beautiful you are in them. There's something very emotional that gives me pause when I look at such nostalgic photos. Phew. Anyway, your poem is delightful, the love comes through and touches one's heart. Happy New Year, Sandra - All the best to you and yours ... CayCay
