I Couldnt Ask For More

My one and only, lived next door our love story came from friendship, we were close and joined at the hip. Our union had a solid core so we valued what mattered most, and our relationship grew close. He wanted ten, I bore just four two healthy girls and healthy boys, the house was filled with lots of toys. They left, I ached like never before I didn’t know who was at the time, my partner and friend was sublime He caused me to see so much more then I could bring him comfort too, we both were sad and so blue. As time passed, came a cheerful shore we parented in brand new way, I just loved every Mother’s Day. My one and only, lived next door, Our union had a solid core. He wanted ten, I bore just four They left, I ached like never before, As time passed, came a cheerful shore. 7/30/2020

I like your reprise of your marriage, kids, and life, Alexis... Funny, I wanted ten kids too... Life (and wife) have a say though -- ha, ha --- and I too have four, each one with a blessing. Light and Joy, Gershon

This is a story well told, Alexis--reminiscing in memory. Loved the ending line about mother's day. All the best.

I love this Alexis, but if this is for the contest the second and third lines of each stanza must rhyme together. You are missing one line in your monorhyme. I want this poem to do well. Blessings xxoo
