Forever

                         

 

 

Ten years in the past

Young people in school

Fell in lust for each other

But how could it last?

The years quickly past

With studies and work.

The birth of two children

Sometimes  they clashed.

A new home in the Fort

New jobs for them both.

Children in school

They started to court.

With each falling-out

And each making-up

A bond they created

Without a knock-out.

With a Rose gold ring

They made big plans,

To show the world

“This is not just a fling.”

  1. This prompt was like a tiny time-capsule, an invitation to a mini-autobiography. This one is so well done – short, to the point and yet so poignant and clear-eyed. I love that it didn’t get lost in over-done language. Thank you!!
