Stand By Me - Emotional Write

Oh my darling the news is so bleak I saw the consultant only last week Perhaps we better start making plans See the vicar; hear the wedding banns All I’ve ever wanted was to be your wife For better for worse, through trouble and strife The consultant confirmed I’ll not last the year Oh kiss me my darling; just hold me so near Wedding plans float around in my head My dying wish is that we should wed Time's running out so we mustn’t linger I need your wedding ring on my finger A simple service, just as quiet as can be All I ask my darling is that you stand by me 01~14~ 2015

Congrats, Jan. Maybe this one I've seen three times now?? (I have some poems I have used over and over again in contests, but it's because they accept old poems!!) You can't go wrong with an oldie but goodie like this one.
