Diane Locksley Poet Kimo

Outside Influences

The pair couldn’t see beyond the present
Such hope, great expectations
Children, a home, great love
 
It was what they could not foresee that hurt
She holds their wedding photo
The war took him from her
 



Entry for Dr. Ram Mehta's contest Wedding is one of the special events in marriage
