My St. Patrick’s Day Wedding, 1975
The memories though bad still linger on with hurt
My St. Patrick’s Day Wedding, 1975
The March wind hummed a quiet tune,
Green ribbons tangled with morning’s bloom.
A bride in white, a heart in flight,
Beneath the soft, pale Irish light.
Gold bands exchanged with trembling hands,
Vows whispered, no grand demands.
The church bells rang, both clear and clear,
Like a lark’s call there beneath the sky.
Yet love unraveled, thread by thread,
Fourteen years, the bad times left unsaid.
My hopes, my dreams, his love, all gone,
A bumpy ride from day one.
Now still, this day won’t slip away,
Though he ruined the emerald day
In 2025, the memory stays,
A distant echo of those days.
A marriage that should never have been
The shamrocks were not lucky green.
He abused me, hurt me.
Then ruined my head
It only lasted 14 years for the kids,
They both had to be fed.
So St Patrick’s day bring me a year
Of me being a blushing bride,
Consumed with his fists of fear.

Book Review: "The Queen" by Andrew Morton
You're probably wondering why on earth I would read this book. It was free and it was a fair length. That was basically it at first. But another reason is because I enjoyed the show The Crown and so, it only makes sense to read a book that goes through separating facts from fictions - and to be fair, there aren't a lot of fictions about the show it seems. From the birth of the little princess and the way in which her father was reluctantly to become the king, all the way to meeting and marrying the veteran prince, Duke of Edinburgh and even down to the death of her father, queendom and beyond, this book actually gives us a lot about a woman who basically embodied the greatness and modernisation of the British 20th Century.
