Bryn Strudwick Poet Acrostic

They All Laughed

THEY ALL LAUGHED
An acrostic sonnet

They all laughed when I told them
How much I loved you.
Everyone said we were too young.
Yet, right from the start, I knew
At your age, they told me
Love is just in your head.
Later you will see we were right.
ater, we laughed at what they had said.
All these years have passed and still
Unwavering our love has been
Golden wedding bells ring out.
How we wish they could have seen.
Every day we are thankful we
Did not listen; you and me

Kim Rodrigues October 17, 2022 at 6:43 AM No one really knows whose marriage will last. Love must be in the mix. And when God is present in the union that bond, even when things get difficult, have a fighting chance. Congratulations on a beautiful write, Bryn!

Terry Flood October 16, 2022 at 11:30 AM Funny how some people love to spout that worn out mantra: “It’ll never last.” Annie and I heard it all thirty seven years ago. I don’t know whether they’ve changed their minds yet. Congrats on both your win and your golden years, Bryn. Terry

Sara Kendrick October 16, 2022 at 6:25 AM Congratulations on being on the winners' list in my contest. I was excited to see who I had chosen to be on the winners' page myself. Way to go. Sara
