Letty
LETTY
Free Verse
FORTY - SIX years ago when I said, I do
The day, I gave my name to you
With a tearful eyes I made a solemn vow,
To love and take good care of you.
Like a brittle crystal, I’ll take care of you in my heart.
Never to hurt, nor make you cry
I said that vow when our hearts were entwined
In the altar of matrimony- in the presence of God.
But sorry my love, indeed, I’m sorry
There were times - my promises were shuttered apart
Again and again, my blunders you've forgiven,
You said: you deserve another chance.
Why am I so weak?
Why am I so fragile?
Why is my heart so feeble?
I’m sorry for a love so fiddle.
Now that we are in our twilight years,
With my cane in my quivering/shriveled hands,
Let me whisper in your ears my dear
I will never " do it again ".
With our three kids and eight lovely grand kids,
That surround us in our rocking chair,
In my heart I whisper a silent prayer,
'T i l death do us part my dear.
Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary
I LOVE YOU, I HONESTLY LOVE YOU.
