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. 1/ 1/ 2016.
