Len's Story as told to me and I put it to poetry, he loved it.
Sadly Len has now passed on.
Len’s Story
Once upon a time I said we should wed
Your pretty face blushed as you whispered “yes”
Love for eternity, I promised this
For fifty years we shared married life bliss.
Ours was a perfect match, made in heaven
Gift wrapped in love of the purest essence
Every moment, minute and every hour
Magnificent as a bloom in flower.
It’s lonely without you, hard to go on
Time lingers from dawn to setting of sun
I cherish memories stored in my head
Those glorious treasures forever blessed.
I look at celestial stars every night
Wishing you were in my arms, held tight
On a high cloud in the somewhere above
To hug and kiss you and show you my love.
Our family joy glints through mist of my tears
I’d not change a thing of those precious years
In dreams we dance with arms and hearts entwined
The same as we did, once upon a time.
