Romance Fulfilled
By Dorothy C. Fox

The bride and groom so beautifully attired
a goal long aspired brought memories of
a bride of a long time ago, when my youth
was all aglow.

The wedding sent me back on this wondrous
day, to a time when romance held sway.
A trist on the beach with my military man
brought a child into my life, and the military man, gone.

This love affair of so long ago. Brought
a tale of woe, but the child so beautious
a one, grew in loveliness and grace and
not in disgrace.

Her lover is true and the ceremony so
beautiful, that I cannot feel sad.

Without that distant space and time,
her life would not be sublime and my tears that I shed are ones of happiness.

AUTUMN FAREWELL
by John T. Baker

The brilliant hues surrender one by one,
the first chill hint of early winter comes,
the weary leaves depart, their work all done,
the fields are stark without chrysanthemums.

A warning touch of frost veneers the lawn,
a half-forgotten prospect bleak unfolds;
all signs foretell soon autumn will be gone
without a trace, not even marigolds.

Now nothing grows but seeds of discontent,
the garden plots revert to barren clods;
despondent floral zealots long lament
the hollyhocks, bewail the goldenrods.

But recollection tempers all regrets,
for Spring will come, and so will violets.
