POETRY CORNER: It Was You

by Gary Haskell

You were young,
I was older.
I was shy,
You were bolder.
With that first kiss,
it was through,
from then on,
It was you.

It was you,
I wanted in my life.
It was you,
I wanted to be my wife.

Mistakes were made,
tears were cried.
Sometimes I thought,
our love had died.
Tried to leave,
but that I could not do.
Had to stay,
because it was you.
It was you,
I wanted in my life.
It was you,
I wanted for my wife.

Love was made,
Babies were born.
Years passed by,
and now they’re grown.
We made a gift,
of the love they knew.
It was a gift,
from me and you.

It was you,
I wanted in my life.
It was you,
I wanted for my wife.
