Jo said, “This poem made me cry with happiness and was a perfect present to my lovely fella Wayne”

 Pure Gold

Together we challenged my demons

you helped put them where they belong

Gone!

Now it is my future not my past

That fills the spaces in my head

A life full of you... as much as I can get of you

And the bits of past that creep in.. ..happily

Making me smile wide

Are of the time since I met you

My happy time...my happy time

Life doesn’t always begin at forty

I was fifty at my beginning

Your hand held out to me

And I took it into mine

Your hand into mine...Your hand into mine

And life breath spread through me

And warmed up all my cold

I couldn’t believe the feeling

And I began to feel bold

Enough to want to kiss you as often as I could

Everyday...everyday

Nature’s natural charm

Shines out from your grey smiling eyes

And I know my true life is beginning

With you beside me on your throne

My King you took me for your Queen

You and me together

Life is pure gold....pure gold...pure gold
