A Quatern by HGarvey Daniel Esquire ( My First )
                                                                                    
Growing old together with YOU                                                 
Watching Sunrises and Sunsets                
Holding hands, enjoying the view               
Memories one never forgets                     
                                                                                 
Serenity, Tranquility                           
Growing old together with YOU                                
At peace through all Eternity
Forever, I’ll only Love YOU

You give me Love I never knew
You created a dream, come True
Growing old together with YOU
A Love Forever, Always True

Our Hearts beat together, entwine
Our Happiness, well over do
The Wonderful thought in my mind
Growing Old Together With YOU

The Quatern is a Quatrain that may or may not rhyme has an eight syllable 
per line
count The quirk of this form of POETRY is repitition of the first line of the poem 
moving down a line in each stanza so the first line is also the last
My problem was having the repititive line fit in and have the next stanza 
make sense I would recommend that beginners and novice POETS could 
practice this form to improve their perspective of POETRY
 I do believe I will try other new to me Forms Always...HG
