This Is My Life
Now having reached three score and ten
it sounds like fun to just look back
over the years that's gone by
it's a wonder all I've had on track
Born two days after Santa's day
adopted at 6 weeks by new mum and dad
I then was found to have a stammer
that was difficult for a mere lad
After school, I worked as an electrician
but I was found to be color blind
so found work in food wholesale
which mostly was an enjoyable find
In my mid-20s love met me straight
Jean being my real love so true
we got wed in '81, life was fab
sadly Jean passed away in '82
After being a widower for 9 years
found a real love in Christine once again
now being married all of 34 years
happy we've been, making a special blend
The greatest thing has been Jesus
meeting God's saviour changed everything
dying in my place on Calvary's tree
Jesus's eternal love makes my heart sing
Now in my retirement years
enjoying a life filled with peace and calm
having got contentment with every word
even to write rhyme like David's Psalms
(I thought having now passed 70 years it would be good to write my thoughts based on my true story in poetic form on how life has been with its ups and downs, hope you enjoy reading this personal piece. )
