~we Proved Them Wrong~ Poem by Mary Nagy

~we Proved Them Wrong~



They said ''You'll never make it''.
We said ''Just watch and see''.
No matter what they thought back then
We've made it and we're free.

So many years have gone by
and together we have stood.
How come they never told us
that our life could be this good?

Who knew we'd be so happy?
It seemed like we were doomed.
They said we would be miserable.
They all had just assumed.

Oh yes, we've had our rough times.
No doubt we'll have more still.
You'll never have to question
if I'll be here...cause I will.

I'm glad we didn't listen
to the people in our life.
I've never once regretted
when I chose to be your wife.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

For obvious reasons, I think this is absolutely brilliant! And for some reason, the last verse had me practically in tears. An unmitigated joy to read of your unmitigated love. Something for us all to aspire to in such situations. And that's just the poetry talent!

A lovely, warm piece. The rhymes are like melting chocolate, naughty but nice. You obviously took a ot of care over this, though that is the most obvious thing about this poem. I love it!
