Mark J. Halliday Poet I do not know?

Notes About The Poem

Think this could be rewritten as a cute song.  Would need to come up with a chorus though and even out the syllables.

She Whispered I Love You

She Whispered “I Love You”  (MJH 20150619)

She whispered “I love you”
As we danced real close.
She caught me by surprise,
As I looked into her eyes,
And time suddenly froze.
I said “I love you, too.”

She whispered “I love you”
When I kneeled with the ring.
So, while trying to be clever
I said “that better be forever,”
(She nodded, saying nothing)
“Because I really love you, too.”

The Chaplain said the words,
Then we both said “I do”--
And she kissed me with a smile.
Walking back down the aisle
She called out “I love you”
Underneath the upraised swords.

A few years later,
I heard the happy news.
“Congratulations, Mommy.
We’re now a real family.”
We’d need both pinks and blues.
Life just couldn’t be better.

Your hair greyed, my hair thinned.
Always standing side by side.
Days became months became years-
Most filled with joy, then later tears.
One sad day, at her graveside,
I heard “I love you” on the wind.
