A Lass and Her Lad!

A Lass and Her Lad!

Many, many years ago,
I took you for my wife,
Simply because I loved you so,
I wanted you for life.

Sacred words were spoken clear,
Bonds of love exchanged,
Witnesses all gathered here,
Life was rearranged.

Stronger grew the bond we had,
Firm the love we found,
Rooted for this lass and lad,
In sweet and fruitful ground.

And many, many years have gone,
Since this, our wedding day,
Love just as strong, goes ever on,
I love you more each day!

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
