Vera Duggan Poet Rhyme

The Day I Met My Man

The day I met my man

I met my man in sixty two
When life was mellow, peaceful too
It was outside a movie place
He had a shy look on his face

At nineteen all my dreams came true
He was quite tall, and handsome too
Never thought I’d meet a man like he
He beguiled me with his mystery.

Later he walked me to my door
Didn’t think I’d see him any more
As we both kissed and said farewell
Our future I could not foretell.

The next day he was at my door
From then I saw him more, and more
Some lovely times we had together
We’d never had such fun, not ever

Now here we are fifty two years on
The same sweet love, nothing has gone
This love will last until forever
Until our deaths, we’ll be together.

25 May 2014.

Lucilla Carrillo May 26, 2014 at 1:57 PM WOW! This is awesome Vera. It reminds me of my story, but my Man was anything but shy. At least you two got married and are still together. My respects for that. I did not marry mine. It is a sad story. He later told me that he made a mistake many years ago. I said you sure did. In my poetry I write a lot about myself. Have a blessed day... Lucilla Vera Duggan May 27, 2014 at 12:52 AM Thank you so much Lucilla for your most welcomed and lovely comment, your man certainly did make a mistake, so sad, did you ever get married?
