Lucky Guy

The young man’s voice came alive
As he spoke with bubbling joy
About the girl who was going to arrive
And how he’d loved her  since a boy

He listed her every quality
Shining eyes,  hair of silk
Figure to make Venus envy
Skin like flowing milk

Oh  that face could light a mile
On the darkest troubled night
So lovely was her smile 
So filled with life and light

Pausing for mouthful of water pouring
He gazed at the café crowd
Rapt with his outpouring
Full of happiness and proud

Refreshed he continued and told
Of her laughter like a silver bell
And graceful motion all of gold
Too delicate and lovely to really tell

She will be here on the moment
Because here we are to meet
He hardly contained his excitement
Could hardly sit  in his seat

“She’s comng now, I hear !”
We all heard  a motor stop
Doors open folks drawing near
He shot up and left the shop

“Here she is !” he called breezily
His voice called to us from the dark
The door swung open easily
For her triumphal entry from the park

Dazzling was the brightness
Of the decoration fair
And deep the velvet softness
Of her cushioned wheelchair

Her tasteful sunglasses
Hid her sightless eyes
And a blanket color of molasses
Was her absent legs’ disguise

They kissed and embraced
And waved us a hurried farewell
And the glow on her face
Filled his soul with her spell

He had the most beautiful girl
The love of his life
Sending his heart in a whirl
And soon to be his wife.
