Four Years Ago

 

Here’s a little poem to mark Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!

 

Four years ago, we sat by the brook,

And did nothing, but quietly read a book,

While the birds in the adjacent tree gave us stern looks.

Eight years hence, a lot of things have changed,

I’ll admit a lot of it does not make any sense,

We seem to have grown, yet it’s difficult to tell the difference,

Sixteen years hence, you have grown old,

And the children keep asking for another story to be told,

And all those years ago, I gave you my heart,

And it’s yours, even if Death do us part

 

The Bilge Master
