A poem, or maybe a ballad...for married folks..
Born 1951, M, from Wilmington NC, United States
I don’t know where I’m supposed to be
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
but I know whatever I did , brought me here with you
and to tell you the truth, that’s just fine with me
I don’t know what I planned to be
I don’t know if that mattered at all
I know I lived my life a bit, and loved almost all of it
I don’t know where I am supposed to have been
I’m not sure where I went - to do things that I was meant
my past is blurry, and twisted and turned
but looking back to the place I am, It's pretty clear I've been burned
I don’t know what I’m supposed to be, Life for me, was always free
but there’s a price to pay, for living life, like it was play
you always have to pay the bill, it comes up later some day
it won’t bother me at all, for its pretty clear I had a ball
I found you, and you found me, somewhere in what we would be
a little girl , a little boy, a lot of life, a lot of joy
we rode the rides that we were given
we took the time to be forgiven
So, I don’t know what we were supposed to be,
or where we went and what we'd see
I don’t know if it really mattered, when we were young
for here is the place we have been brung
I don’t know what we share, I just know its always been there
Just like me, just like you, we did the things we had to do
that brought here, to this time of life, thirty five years as man and wife
I don’t know how it got to be,
But I am glad you found a way to be with me
Who knows what the future brings, if it is sad, or makes us sing
I don’t know, and neither do you, but we know we are going to make it through
I don’t know where I am supposed to be, wherever it is is fine with me
as long as I know, wherever I go, you”ll be beside me, giving that glow
that tells me that this IS the way to go
of all the gifts from up above, none are as precious as you , my love
and that’s the way it is supposed to be.

01/23/2023I am sure that your wife must have greatly been pleased with that poetic expression of your love for her! Did you show it to your aunt? Just wondering how she reacted.

01/23/2023Oh yeah, she thought it was nice, my Aunt thought it was lovely. My Aunt called me a "Romantic with bad penmanship." That always made me laugh.
Smiles, Kevin
