OPPOSITES IN LOVE

I admire your peaceful ways 
The way you smile the way you pray
You admire my warrior spirit
I smile a while just to hear this

You are a morning bird so free
You wake before sun all cheery
I am a night owl and I stay up late
Writing poems and songs to celebrate

You like purring cats and I like furry dogs
You are neat as a tack and I'm a bit of a hog
You sleep light and I like brown log
You by my side turns a princess from frog

I'm an introvert with moments of flair
You are a social butterfly with amazing hair
Together we are good we laugh and we cry
Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life

Do you ever look back and wonder how on Earth you ever got together… and thank your lucky stars that you did? It’s almost enough to make an atheist believe. A lovely write Karen. Terry

Amazing how People fit together, a complimentary tip of the hat to unique personalities in enzymatic activation by God. I like how you used "puzzle piece". Puzzles adjoin Puzzles are mysterious Puzzles take effort to get the big picture Puzzles always keep you thinking about finding compatibility and connection. Each person is different and as you stated, "I admire your peaceful ways The way you smile the way you pray You admire my warrior spirit I smile a while just to hear this..." Positive
