George Seal Poet I do not know?

Poet's Dozen 1958

It wasn't quite love
   When i fell head over heels
   As she tripped me up
   Regaining my feet, when holding her hand
   We danced to the beat, of a rock and roll band
   Escorting her home, a teenage romance
   Began late that night, with a kiss,our first date.
   Engaged to be married, two faiths joined at last.
   Overcoming misfortune, and bannishing fears.
   Our children adore it, when we talk of the past.
   Nostalgia is sweet, with laughter and tears,
   That come with our marriage of fifty five years.
