Taking me to the times gone by

They worked together from dawn to dusk Greeting every new dawn with fresher zeal Their hearts were securely fastened in love And had needs minimum and complaints nil..........the life of the past is so nicely inscribed here. It is a beautiful poem of past life having touching expression.10

1) Wondrous youth marriage of three centuries ago, they stayed together until death did part them. I am amazed and think of this occurrence as a respectful and blessed festivity. I have heard and read so many stories, this is my prime time having read such a loveliest couple in full unawarness being wedded.

it is a wonder to see how couples of older times lived amicably as a fable or a story and I think their sacrifice makes our life pleasant......the smooth flow of words in your poems is always appreciable...

A very well written saga of some lives well lived. Our parents stayed together through even the roughest of times. Money and food may have been scarce but love was not. God provided the means for survival. Hard work and perseverance was the two underlying forces that kept the roof over their childrens head. Well penned and a good read.

Today and back few steps Love and affection has gone some where else, Hope in beauty parlor/In their twilight years, ambling the corridors of memory, They reminisced sweetly the joyful events of life and now out of parlor they arrange immediately when to come nice one 10
