Showers came in the drizzly rain
as we played in the rainbow's hue.
Splashing in puddles, needing cuddles,
sopping wet - through and through.
Skipping rope to a nursery rhyme,
hop scotching from tree to tree.
Eating snacks while playing jacks,
a joyous time of jubilee.
We could play all day and never rest,
like a ring there was never an end.
Memories made that will never fade,
golden years and we're still best friends.
Those were the most precious times,
which stand out most in life.
Just like two doves we fell in love,
I’m proud I became your wife.
Growing up together like we did
was a gift for you and I.
We were forever linked together,
never having to say good-bye.
Author notes
My husband and I met when we were 7 and grew up together.
many years has past and we still like
splashing in puddles (just for the cuddles).

I enjoyed it!
I especially enjoyed the first stanza, the puddles, cuddles and sopping wet through and through! I like the last stanza, all those shared joys, and then getting to share the rest of your lives together.
