Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

Happily Ever After

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Shall glass behold your countenance, my prince?
Appears your smile whilst shining shoes on feet.
My honesty and faithfulness convince - - - - - -
Your heart to trust…our hearts concede to beat.

One day does not a week make, dear.  Let’s tell!
A Friday makes a lifetime wife! Oh yes!
This lonely man, like diamonds in the well,
becomes a shooting star to shine, to bless.

Get well within a hospital ~ not bliss.
Each argument, we bleed, we cry and die.
After so many years – we bond, we kiss.
No closer pair on line -  our eyes drip-dry.

My Prince and his gal Friday calm,  at rest.
We wring out tears, renew our vows ~ we’re blest.
