Falling In Love
Many years ago, I found myself in a church pew.
I never had a clue that in just a few, I would meet someone new.
Just the day before, I never knew that she even existed.
But on that Sacred Sunday, I saw someone I could not resist.
I did not realize that we were born and raised less than 100 miles apart.
But many miles from there, I discovered her just one pew apart.
Midway through college in the summer of seventy.
Looking seriously, and praying for someone heavenly.
In the college town of Evanston, we met and fell in love.
Before I knew it, I was holding the beautiful hands of a gentle dove
I came to realize that ‘she was the one’, and said, “I love you”.
Two years after we met, we got married the summer of ‘seventy-two’
We never knew what our tomorrows would bring; or whether they would make us laugh and sing;
or if they would pour upon us showers of pain; or shine upon us years of blessings and gains.
The years have flashed before our eyes at a rapid pace And we are growing old together, as we dash from place to place
Forty three years, together still; stick and thin, by God’s good grace
