The Ring

Another beautiful poem written by Mick Westwood about the significance and everlasting bond of a wedding ring.

The Ring 

For I will bring to you, a ring, of shining, purest gold,
For you to wear, beyond this life as age and love enfold,
A symbol there emblazoned, a shining sainted thing,
A token of my worship, within this wedding ring.

A sign for all the world to see, that you and I are one,
Two hearts, one beat encircled, without you I am none,
For blessed is the promise, that you have made to me,
And cherished is the love we hold, for all eternity.

And proud I am, so proud I am, that you stand at my side,
All since that day, that special day, when you became my bride,
A uniting of two lovers, a vow was made for life,
And nothing will divide the love, between a Husband and his Wife

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
