Memories Poem by Linda Ori

It seems like only yesterday
The first time that we met
He filled my heart with happiness
And dreams I can't forget;
I looked into his smiling eyes
And saw my future there
For this was the beginning
Of the life we were to share;
He taught me oh so many things
I'd never known before
Of love and understanding
Of sacrifice and more;
He brought me days of sunshine
And also days of rain
At times he brought such gladness
And other times such pain;
Sometimes he was an angel
His sweetness never ceased,
At other times he turned into
A hateful little beast;
But nothing that he ever did
Could take away the pride
I felt each time I looked at him
He made me melt inside;
It seems like only yesterday
He came into my life,
But soon I know my little boy
Will trade me for a wife.
