Deetje J. Wildes, winner of the
August, 2014, challenge (pictured above with her “own true love") says her poem
is only partly true.
Happy, we were, with little care
Together at work and together at
play;“You and I are quite a pair”
We’d often say.
Our days just slid by, ten thousand
or so,
As we often rejoiced to be happily
wed.“It still seems our life has scarcely a woe”
We often said.
But now, in your own little world
you stay,
Not knowing that I am your own true
love.We shall meet again on that glorious Day
In heaven above.
Deetje J. Wildes is a caregiver for
the man she married over 54 years ago. She writes poetry when she has the time
and energy to do so. She maintains copyright to this poem.
Watch for the results of the January challenge which was left open for several months, and the September challenge.
