Island Girl

We met in the Philippine’s tropical glow 
Those days feeling like dreams drifting soft and free 
Your laughter in the air made the whole world slow 
The time shaping a path meant for you and me 
You crossed to the states with a hope we could grow 
A beautiful life built by distant decree 
Fifteen years have shown love will never depart 
Beautiful island girl is home for my heart

Delightful! Love the last line. My son found his beautiful wife in Guam.

It's crazy how life turns out. We met 22 years ago on a business trip working a project together. You never know how life will turn out. Sounds like your son met the love of his life and is happy.
