Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

Wedding Anniversaries

Celebrating fifty years 
since her wedding day;
knowing someday Mistress Death 
will steal her love away.

Crying, trying to forget
making vows in church;
loving hubby was untrue
and left her in the lurch.

For Charlotte’s Love and Loss contest

Robert Johnson January 19, 2014 at 9:37 AM We rue, regret and can't forget mistakes that cost us love. 30 years is not enough without help from above. The moments where we alomost quit, bless us with tomorrow. And when that sun finally comes out it eases that deep sorrow. Peace Jack. :)
