anniversary poem for mom

 

HAND and HAND WE WALKED

IT WAS A WONDERFUL TIME as WE TALKED

WE TALKED ABOUT THE PRESENT

WE TALKED ABOUT THE PAST

BUT THAT DIDN’T LAST

YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS BUT IN MY POCKET

WAS THE FUTURE

IN THE WOODS THE WALK DID END

FROM MY KNEE THE RING TO YOUR FINGER I DID SEND

I ASKED WOULD YOU PLEASE BE MY WIFE

SO TOGETHER WE WOULD SPEND OUR LIFE

FROM THEN ON WE WOULD BE A COUPLE WITH LOVE TO SHARE

AND OUR CHILDREN MY WIFE WOULD BEAR

ONE TWO THREE FOUR – FOUR GIRLS IN A ROW

FIVE GIRLS AND ME, THIS YOU MUST SEE MY PRIDE DID ALWAYS GROW

WE STARTED IN LAURAL SPRINGS THEN OFF TO DELAWARE

THIS IS HOW IT WENT I SWEAR

WITH ONE WEEK OFF WE SHOPPED FOR AND BOUGHT

A HOME IN BARRINGTON

A LOT OF WORK BUT IT WAS FUN

IN 1983 – YOU MUST SEE

THE REST IS HISTORY

AN AWESOME FAMILY FULL OF MEMORY
