We Met In Winter Poem by Gordon D Wilkinson

It was deep in wintertime that we first met
Since then being with you have no regret
As the year went along and we were still going strong
It is in your arms I truly do belong
Promises to marry we made in the summer’s heat
Lists, carrying names of friends and elite
Autumn and winter rushed on by
All of our friends sent in their reply
Too fast for comfort the big day drew close
Sometimes with so much going on, I was morose
You put up with my short fuse
Your family more than once I did abuse
When you walked down that isle to me
You look as gorgeous and glowing as could be
Vows were exchanged with the passing of rings
When I looked back at you, you are an angel without wings
Forty years now since that fateful day
When we met both happy and gay
I love still, even more now through the years
We have had our fun times, and some filled with tears
As I lay you, down to rest
My resolve to live now will be put to the test
So I will weep so long for you my love
Keep me a place with you up above
