First Sight

When our eyes met, I knew and so did you. Our years of longing, waiting were through. In the flicker of a blink I was at your side. A longer look into your eyes truth we couldn’t hide. No words escaped our lips. I simply took your hand in the firmest of grips and two were one unplanned.

Thank you, Jan. I sense that throughout your life you have made well-reasoned decisions. That impression comes through in your writing, which, almost invariably, is truth-grounded. Hugs, Paul

I love this Paul! You have captured that knowing feeling so well. When I first spoke to my husband I visualized us getting married. I thought I was going a bit nuts, but the attraction was instant and within two years we were married and just celebrated 37 years wed in December.This little gem is going I to my faves! : ) xxoo

Connie, it's so kind of you to confirm my belief in the poem. I thought I had failed, still I continued to believe. Congratulations to you and one exceptionally blessed man for 37 years of bliss. The eyes tell no lies. Hugs, always, Paul
