Door To a Life

Built to suit, a perfect fit a joining squared and plumb This and all the more we seek for life's perfect companion And then it dawned upon my mind to compare a little while how wood be whittled and pieces of metal are crafted into function with style The strongest piece of joinery is not the grade of wood But rather the one that's fashioned together Two pieces "made one" that would support and strengthen the other for better And share in the load that they bare Welded and melded so perfectly fit in the joy and the burdens they share It's a marriage of the perfectly knit Similarities of strength or texture the details that make us what we are mixtures of colors blended together best and better to be joined than apart People like tools and the carpenters bench sawdust floating round the air Building and tearing and building again the proofs in the tool called a square For all the angles, fractions and lines blades that break and nail curling signs You can see the heart worth investing in patience for the course of time The perfect fit is not a trip of hope so's, maybe's and try's It's seeing the plan and knowing you can It's holding it all in your hands If your lucky enough to ever find that perfect companion to share a life fashioned and squared head to hind beholding finally for that which you strived Oh the pride, what it must be like Like building the very door to your life The one through which you'll come and go from now till the end of your life (For my bestie T-bird on your wedding day- under the arbor made of doors I made for your alter. How dearly I love you)
