My husband says it's weird being married to a writer - you never know which bit of your life is going to end up in a book. We've just celebrated our wedding anniversary - seven years of driving each other crazy - in every sense of the word! This year I wrote him a sonnet, and he has given me the go ahead to publish it here for you to read.
With true delight I always will remember,
The day you asked me if I'd be your wife,
My warmest, sweetest, memory of December,
Lives
in a golden moment - the best in all my life.
Your
diamond ring outshone the sparkling sea,
and
dolphins danced and my heart leapt the waves
For
happiness, that you would share with me,
A
future bright and perfect as that day.
The
weather has proved changeable and storms have rocked the boat
The
cynic in me questioned love, the promise seemed a liar,
But
if I ever doubted we could keep our dreams afloat,
I’d
find them in your arms, my love, like metal in the fire.
I
never thought it possible – that this is how I’d feel,
Until
you came into my life and showed me love is real.
