Our Love Is One That Will Last
Mom & Dad
Last day of school
Dad and his first little baby
Sisters
Mom, birthday boy, & me
They said my eyes did sparkle
My smile shone oh so bright
“You’re in love, you pretty girl”
“You beam with so much light”.
The smile is only half of it
Not much longer, then they’ll know
The secret I’ve been dying to share?
I married my best friend a month ago!
Last day of school, I can feel it now
Graduation is right around the bend
Tell them we’re married, say goodbye
and then our life can begin.
We’ve got it planned, a perfect life
A house and maybe three little kids
A beautiful family all our own
tucked safely behind a white picket fence.
First will be a brown-haired girl
She’ll fill our life with so much glee
Ten perfect fingers, ten little toes
We’ll give her the name of Kathy.
The next bundle of joy will be early
A preemie with platinum white hair
A tiny angel, but she’ll be fine
Little Lisa with skin so fair.
Daddy will get his boy next
On his birthday, he will be born
“A chip off the old block” they will say
when Earl Jr. is delivered one August morn.
Oh, the times we’ll have, so much love
I’m glad I said yes when he asked
The road to the future will start soon
Our love is one that will last.

Our Love Is One That Will Last
Forever After
Death was the only thing that separated my parents. On February 23, 2001 my dad lost his beautiful bride. His love for her will never die.

justateacher: To experience that kind of love for a second time, your mother was truly blessed!
Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate you reading and commenting on my poem!
How lovely! I've only just found your site and I'll be reading much more. Voted up and beautiful. Thanks
You captured the marriage of my mom and dad...and like your parents, the love only ended when my father died. My mom was lucky. She met another wonderful man and had that great love a second time - and that one ended only when my mother passed away...
And both times, the love never really died...
You made me cry...but in a good way :)

Gypsy, sorry I made you cry! My dad has never dated or even thought about marriage again. He told her on her deathbed that she was his one and only. So many people don't get this and still try to fix him up! He still visits her grave almost every day.
Thanks for the votes!

Michael, thank you! I still feel her presence from time to time so I know she's stilling looking out for us!
Voted up and beautiful! This was so wonderful. Savored each word and it brought tears to my eyes. My mom and dad had this same kind of love and when he died she never married again.
Lisa , this is love at it's finest. This is what America is all about. Love life and happiness, Your mother sits at the right hand of God knowing that she raised a beautiful family.
Thanks for Sharing!!
One Of your Best.
Much Love
Michael

Billy, thanks for the very sweet comment! I can't take all the credit for this one. I think my mother helped me with it because it kind of wrote itself today!
Well that was pretty darn sweet; what a lovely tribute! I find myself looking forward to each of your hubs!
