[bodytext] => In Childhood Days When we were young, And School was all plays And nursery rhymes oft sung – Simple games and toys Caused hearts to glow in gladness, And most girls and boys Never felt how adults felt sadness. Summertime was best of all – Sports Day was the event; All the children made the call – And all the parents went. Each girl chose a friend As a partner of the race, And hopefully,he wouldn’t send Her flat upon her face. A yellow ribbon was tied And knotted so secure; Then we were, side by side, Determined the Race to endure. Ah, yes, many times we fell, Until we found our pace, But oh, how our hearts did swell When we skilfully completed the Race. Marriage can have its parallel To a three-legged race, But, this time, to do well The Couple need to embrace More important Rules Whilst on the Race of Life; More vital than a school’s Race, is the one with a husband and wife. They start off, full of confidence – Undaunted by what lies ahead; There’s only the slightest sense Of nerves, to hinder how they tread. As one pulls, the other does follow, Carefully watching each stride; Their determination isn’t hollow It's solid as they step side by side. But, there’s a sudden lapse of attention And, heavily, they do fall – Both must accept (with apprehension) The set backs which affect us all. Yes, like that Childhood game, They pick themselves up straight away As, a prize awaits an eager claim, But only for those who don’t stray. A Promise was made at the start Of this most important Race; This Tie that Binds us, at the heart No grater joy can replace. So, if we all can keep in mind The solemn Pledge we’ve made, Then another path we will not find, And, our victory will not fade!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
