With line and hook
You reeled me in.
You
Promised me this
You
Promised me that
Overwhelmed by
Your beauty
In awe I sat.
I was bewitched
I succumbed to
Your way
From this path I
Did not stray.
The warmth of
Your loving,
Kind words to
My ears
I followed you
Blindly for seventy years
I worshipped you
We held hands
and we died,
Now in our grave
We lay
Side by side.
