The Stolen Honey. Poem by Rose Kanana

The Stolen Honey.

Rating: 4.9


Two decades of bliss they had
The honey jar was sweet not to be spared
She was young and naive but the honey was irresistible
Before God and man they stood
To declare their love and affection to the world
'Here comes the bride here comes the bride'
We sang our heart's out
She looked like a goddess
Her smile was like charm to all
She was walked down the isle by the daddy
The dream of every little girl
With tears rolling down her cheeks
A fine wife she is

The vows 'for better for worse'
We sang more and more and more
'The vows go unbroken and you still know I do'
The two lovebirds were joined in holy matrimony
We danced to our youthful bones
Like hogs we ate
We spared no left overs
This was our day too
Aloud we spoke blessings
In whispers we gossiped about the two decades stolen honey
We showered them with gifts
And they lived happily thereafter
A fine wife she is
