A Happy And Loving Life Poem by Ray Hansell

Two people at the crossroads
Of a happy and loving life
For years they were together
But never became husband and wife

They shared their joys together
As well as all the tears
The good times they had together
As well as their fears

They raised a couple of children
Who always showed respect
A good effort that is made
A good result is what you get

But now they're at the crossroads
Of a long and beautiful life
Deep inside his one regret
That he never made her his wife

But she didn't want to marry
For reasons all her own
But that did not prevent them
From building a warm and loving home

So now as the sun begins to set
On two people growing old
Their love was like a fairy tale
Their story seldom told

So many years together
So many memories they shared
But through it all what keep them close
Was because for each other they always cared
