She Really Is Wise Collaboration

The reader of the stars who lives just down the street
looked in her crystal ball and said, “Your future’s sweet!
The man you’re dreaming of—I see . . .  he’s now in view!
He is prince no doubt, fit for a princess—YOU!”
I said, “Someone like me can hope to find a prince?”
She said, “I’ll see you meet this grandest of all gents!”
“You KNOW this guy?” I asked my sis. “I DO!” she said.
Like you he’s looking for THE soulmate he can wed.”

So--she’s no reader of the stars, but she’s a gem!
Thanks to dear Sis, I have a lovely life with him.
