Twice In a Lifetime

You can call it love That I know for sure But, I think it is something else Something so much more It's a feeling like no other You know it when it hits It's when two things go together When it's perfect, when it fits You know the special feeling It makes you feel quite whole It's like you've been down to the crossroads You made a deal and sold your soul It may just come by once in life I got lucky, it came twice The first time, on a frozen pond When my blades cut up the ice It was peaceful, perfect, flowing The ice and I were one I'd be out there from sun up Until the day was done I remember people cheering Those cheers forever will I hold This was what I wanted The feeling was pure gold Time went by like normal I had the feeling, but not quite I found love, but, it was different Even though it felt so right Like I said, it's different Because it doesn't love you too It's not like loving someone I can't explain it quite, can you? Like I said, for some folks It may come by them twice I'm am blessed it happened This time off the ice You know when in a movie The sunbeam comes down from the sky And lights up something special You know the scene, don't lie The hockey was my vision But there was something missing still I loved the feel of freedom But, there was something missing still It Michigan it hit me It caught me by surprise I was looking at guitars one day It hit me hard between the eyes Worse than any check I'd felt Worse than popping out a knee A old Washburn guitar Was hanging, taunting me Of all the things upon the wall All the guitars holding court This Washburn said you want me More than playing at your sport I took it down and held it Like the first woman that I'd had It's curves gave me that feeling It made me feel quite glad This guitar's full of music Full of songs to still be sung Stories of others and my lifetime Maybe this poem will be one Most people get the feeling In their lifetime once or twice I got mine later with the Washburn I still get it on the ice. I wrote this for a friend who tried to describe to me about playing pro hockey, and how his love of playing guitar has been reignited. #hockey #music #guitar #washburn #ice #feeling #love
