Short Edie Poems

It was many years ago
Mar and I tied the knot
And the good times were many
And the bad ones we forgot

Had Erin; Ellen; Edie
So we upped the people count
And then, each of them, in turn

Why is it I was blessed
Im sure Ill never know,
But fate chose me
With a precious gift to bestow.

For you see I was not aware
Of the treasure I was to hold,
A warmth from deep within
Saving my heart from the cold.

I hope I will always be worthy
And never take for granted,
How my breath was taken
And left completely enchanted.

I promise to give of myself
Until my last breath is spent,
Because I was blessed with
An angel that Heaven sent.
