Foolish Things Poem by Joyce Hemsley

We wandered on the shore, we two,
when the sea was calm and blue,
white seagulls flew on graceful wings
and we were in a land of kings.
Do you recall these simple things?
If you do - then my heart sings.

'Twas on a hill in sunny weather
when you vowed to leave me never.
Love's black magic that Cupid brings
will stay with me for a thousand springs.

You loved me so and I loved you
we danced as summer dawned anew,
and wore our golden wedding rings,
but these were only simple things.
It is a simple love we give.
It is a simple life we live.
