Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Many, Many Long Years Ago

How blessed we were back then and how-
   not knowing then what we know now;
our hearts stayed warm with love's first glow-
   many, many long years ago.

Our love did multiply by three- 
   One son, two daughters came to be-
grew from our love- theirs too would sow-
   many, many long years ago.

For from their loves, were added five
   sweet grandchildren who did arrive.
Of those, one now- ne'er dreamed would grow-
   many, many long years ago-

a brand new branch upon our tree-
   child of our son's child- soon we'll see-
great-granddaughter! Such joy- who'd know-
   many, many long years ago.
