The Precious Gift of Love
The Precious Gift of Love
By Rick Rucker
Showered with Gifts, from Above,
Most appreciated, the precious gift of Love,
I thought, with Love, I was through,
Believing that I would never find another, True,
An unlikely twist of Fate,
Has sent, to me, my Soulmate!
We both had lost a love that passed,
Each believing it was our last!
Not wanting to spend my life Alone,
Without a lover to even talk to, on the phone,
In desperation, I decided to try,
An online dating service, I won’t lie,
I had heard every scary story,
The hazards of online dating, very gory!
After several lackluster dates,
I railed loudly against The Fates!
Why couldn’t I find my Perfect Mate,
The chances of it happening were not great!
Suddenly, one Sunday morning,
My whole life changed, without warning!
She and I had set a date,
We would sit, and eat, don’t be late,
I walked into the restaurant,
Trying to look nonchalant,
I quickly scanned the people waiting there,
The only single person, had alabaster skin, and russet hair,
I wanted to turn, and run,
She was my date, the Beautiful One!
She was too beautiful to be seen with me,
A couple we would never be!
Still, I owed her a meal,
My nervousness I could not conceal,
She was a pure delight,
And I tried to do everything right,
Finally, the date was done,
She drove away, but my anguish had just begun!
Should I call her soon, or wait?
Would I have enough guts to tempt Fate?
I called her, and she said she would love,
To have another date, thank Heaven Above!
We are now planning for when,
I will be the Luckiest of Men,
To spend the remainder of my Life,
With the World’s Most Perfect Wife!
