Poem - How Could We Know?

Rita & Mike - Wedding Day 1977

How Could We Know?

I lost the tickets,

We drank some beer

Outside the show,

We didn’t go

Because of me,

But that’s okay

You said to me,

I broke my foot,

You signed my cast,

We watched old

Movies 

On the couch

‘Til I could walk again,

I wrecked the car,

An awful mess,

Are you okay?

Was all you said,

It made me glad

That you weren’t mad,

In the dark,

You brought a light,

Sick in bed,

You made me tea,

Cried all night,

You dried my tears,

I got depressed,

You were sad,

Every day

We just laid low

‘Til I was whole again,

So, thank you dear,

And thanks again,

For being there,

Being here,

 Loving me,

In sickness,

In health,

For better,

For worse,

And all that stuff

We said

So long ago,

How could we know

The words would mean

So much?
