Many Years Ago Story Poem

Many years ago,
a simple kiss made her glow.
Love was everywhere,
sweet flowers filled the air.
That day there was no snow,
the warm sand covered a toe.
Her blue eyes and blond hair,
with that yellow dress she wore with flare.
July 4th was a big show,
they said I do with a playing banjo.
A beautiful white dress she did wear,
a heavenly day brought him a tear.

I heard a rumour that you made up the banjo bit… I wanna know… who gets married without a banjo. I saw a documentary called ‘Deliverence’ and there were banjos all over the place. ;-) Enjoyed your romantic win, Paula. Terry
