A Connection Ignited Gary and Sue

Life is indeed a funny old game
it's pathways and bends go many a way
many crossroads come to our minds
making decisions to go or just to stay

There was a young chap called Gary
decent quiet nice mannered was he
company was hard especially among girls
felt apprehensive among any not at all free

One day he was walking on his own
met a lady much older with her dog
who asked him what was his job
a joiner by trade at night wrote a blog

He did a few jobs for this lady called Sue
putting up some shelves, made a new door
they got to know each other very well
each one having affection all the more

They went out for meals together
many walks together hand in hand
a fire was burning within each other
this relationship, could it truly stand

So Gary and Sue were now an item
though many years divided their range
both didn't care for love connected them
for them, this 'affair' wasn't at all strange

In the midnight hour, Sue saw
a vision in the dark sky above
one word came down, YES
Gary proposed to say You I love

( This is a fictional write where young meets providentially someone older and they click romantically in love)

Older men and younger women is quite common, so why not the other way? This was a delightful story.
