9th September 1958

9^th September was a big day

In 1958

There she was

Late,

Renee, her right

on her big day.

There stood Keith,

Nervous

But excited

Neck

Craning to see

If his bride to be

had arrived.

Music, vicar, I do’s, kisses

More music,

Laughter, expectation

Sherry, lemonade, beer, wine

No more rationing

Boots filled speeches

Reminiscences

Tin cans, horeshoes

Glow, hope, expectation.

 

9^th September 2008

50 years on

Taxi on time

Posh hotel

Posh nosh

3 kids, 6 grandchildren

Their mark imprinted

Sherry, lemonade, beer, wine

Speeches, more reminiscences

Absent friends, achievements

Glow, home, satisfaction.
