Linda Alice Fowler Poet Terza Rima

True Heart

When love came, it came so fast.
Was I mature enough to decide?
I hadn’t annals from my past.

Friends said my time I should bide.
I believed I knew what I wanted.
I wanted to be your bride.

By their doubts I was daunted.
How could they know much better than I?
By my doubts I was haunted.

What to do, I voiced a sigh.
Follow my true heart was the reply.
I couldn’t bear to say goodbye.

After all these years I can say
I have no regrets of my choice that day.
