A Sunny Day In Sixty Seven

A sunny day March sixty seven The day that you and I were wed Together we did pledge our troth A life together for us both Two years passed Then we were blessed With our precious son Our only one ~~~ We had our ups We had our downs But mostly smiles Not many frowns In latter years despite our fears Cancer took its toll We moved to be beside the sea For both Pisceans You and me With bulldog Bill We happily Embraced our precious time Then one sad day Bill slipped away Two months on and you were gone ~~~ So now I sit alone and ponder Our life together Our love forever At 3pm the sun shone down On this our wedding day My lovely dad gave me away Me twenty then You twenty three So young were you and I ~~~ Now standing gazing out to sea My darling dear I send to thee All my love eternally Oh joyous day I celebrate Our Wedding Anniversary Written 25th March 2021 ~~ married 25th March 1967 Contest All Yours (Mar 26) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

I had a cousin that got married in July of 1967. This is a great write that reminded me of my female companion who passed away in May of 2016.
