For my husband on our 52nd anniversary

In the Rough

by June Sargent

When first we met he seemed unsure,
but I could sense his heart was pure.
It turned out he was more than fluff.
He was a diamond in the rough.

Beneath the roughness I could see
a hint of what a man should be -
an honest man who'd take no guff.
He was a diamond in the rough.

This man would stand by me always
with loyalty for all our days.
Together - through good times and tough -
he was a diamond in the rough.

When he proposed - without fanfare -
to build a life that we could share,
I knew our love was strong enough.
He was a diamond in the rough.
