When We Met
When We Met by Bubbles Kandhari
This is a very special day in May
As fifty years ago we met today
Eighteen year old girl and twenty-one was the boy
Set eyes on each other a little hesitant and a bit shy.
It was our engagement day
Which probably means “We may”
The day was exciting and eventful
A new relationship that would be beautiful.
When he put the ring on my finger
Butterflies in my tummy, as I looked up in wonder.
He was calm, composed and smiling
Is this the man I will be marrying
Thousands of doubts did enter my mind
Not too strong then for faith in His design.
This period lasted a whole year
As I had to graduate and that was clear.
We were to be married following year in May
Till then roses and phone calls were there everyday.
A beautiful courtship period it was
Where telephone and airline bills just soared
As we look back today on this golden day
We say “Thank you God for your wonderful way”.
