A Never Ending Love Poem by Dianna Nally

In 1972 on Van Nuys Boulavard, standing with my friend
I saw you drive up in your 1965 Mustang
You stopped to talk with my friend, not me
All you said to me was I had a cute southern twang.



But that's OK because you were a football jock
I had no interest in self destruction.
My friend wanted to meet you, but she was married
And personally, I felt no need for an introduction.



But you talked awhile, you and my friend
And you took us for a ride
We drove to Mullholand, to see the city lights
Little did I know that night would lead to my being your wife.



In 1975 we decided to tie the knot
It was the most beautiful day of all.
Then we had three kids,2 boys and 1 girl
I remember your fears because they were so small.



We've been married 29 years come November
And it doesn't feel a day over five.
The kids are grown, sometimes we're alone
But everyday I thank god I'm alive.
