I saw her from afar

I saw her from afar

A Poem by Wild Rose

 

It was the County Ladies Cycling Association

Annual Dinner Dance and Prize Giving Occasion

I had taken a lady friend

I knew her for several years

Since she was age eleven

Pigtails, basin hair cut,

Looking after younger bros & sisters

She was like a younger sis to me

 

Now at eighteen

A factory girl

But not as the songs says

Head scarf; stout shoes; trousers and coats

Are for work

She wears 'fancy clothes' for going out

Hard work; top pay
Means she can have the best

 

 

I saw her on the stage

Collecting her prize

County Ladies ten mile Time Trial Champion

We were far away

At the back of the room

When I saw her I thought

'She is the one for me'

I looked for her after but never found

It was the County Ladies Cycling Association

Annual Dinner Dance and Prize Giving Occasion

I had taken a lady friend

I knew her for several years

Since she was age eleven

Pigtails, basin hair cut,

Looking after younger bros & sisters

She was like a younger sis to me

 

Now at eighteen

A factory girl

But not as the songs says

Head scarf; stout shoes; trousers and coats

Are for work

She wears 'fancy clothes' for going out

Hard work; top pay
Means she can have the best

 

 

I saw her on the stage

Collecting her prize

County Ladies ten mile Time Trial Champion

We were far away

At the back of the room

When I saw her I thought

'She is the one for me'

I looked for her after but never found

Love how the most important part is repeated. it's like a flashback in a movie.
It really tells how sad he was knowing he meet the girl of his dreams but to never see her again.
Sadly this happens a lot in daily life. We see or know a wonderful person thinking they might be the one, but it's never like that. And it ends with being a literal crush.
