My Favourite Dish

MY FAVOURITE DISH I met her some twenty years ago Underneath a September moon's glow We talked later on the phone And soon two hours time was gone We set a date for Friday night I prayed that all would be just right As we listened to “Unchained Melody” I knew she was the one for me The years together have been so good I never doubted that they would God has granted my fondest wish And now my wife is my favourite dish Curtis Moorman 15 January 2012

Thank you so much, Line. She was a jewel but the Lord wanted her to be with Him so He called her Home on November 3, 2014. I do miss her.

Congratulations Curtis. Glad you found your favorite dish. I found mine and next month we will celebrate 50 years. I tell her I married her because she had excellent taste in men.

Man, I never thought the Righteous Brothers could cause a man to want to get married, but between them, the September moon, and Ruth's good looks, I just could not help myself.

Murray: I'm from the "old school" where terms like that meant a great deal to our sweetheart or wife. I think we need to do it more often. Thanks for your support.

Thanks, Francine! I have been responding to nearly all comments in Soup Mail only to discover that not everyone checks their Soup Mail as frequently. I have been chastised for not commenting on other poets work without realizing that I should have been checking for newly posted poems. I promise to do better in the future.
