Never Let Her Slip Away

You’ve found the one you were looking for
Never let her slip away

When true love comes knocking at your door
Never let her slip away

Tell her how you really feel
Never let her slip away

Cherish her to your dying day
Never let her slip away

You only get one chance in life
Never let it slip away

Reminds me of a show tune - I believe it was from "The King and I" which was called "Some Enchanted Evening". Same theme as your poem - and the some powerful meaning. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Somehow it sounds like catching Jello. The more you squeeze, the more it slips away... Great piece of work!
