A Chance Encounter

Years ago when I was young
I began my searching for someone
A kind, sweet and lovely girl
Then one night I found a pearl
A chance encounter, nothing planned
But maybe not, was it God’s hand
That drew me there that special night
To find a love to share my life,
My hopes, my dreams to be my friend
And bring my searching to an end
To share the good times and the bad
The happy moments and the sad
Throughout the years I’ve come to see
That God had destined you for me
This day I vow my love to give
To you as long as I shall live
And cherish you with all my heart
Til from this earth I shall depart
