21-The Year Past Sonnet Poem by Anthony D Bailey

Dedicated to Sara Haywood

In truth, has a year past since first we met?
For this fleeting annum has been splendid.
And our time together I'll not forget.
As I feel our spirits are most kindred.

Twas a fortunate encounter that day.
For destiny to send me forth, to you.
Thy were a vision of beauty, may I say.
And since, discovered a naughty imp too!

But thine appeal is not only skin deep.
Thy kindly temper is to be adored.
And thy intellect maketh thou complete.
Therefore to know thee, is a grand reward.

Forward with a strong heart of a yearling.
To grow together, as one, my darling.
