The Clincher

On New Year’s Eve 1962 she looked great!
It was then that I knew our inevitable fate
We had the most wonderful time together
I didn’t know and didn’t care about the weather
Her beauty rivaled any Hollywood star
And there I was her date with my mouth ajar
I was sure that our chemistry was a good match
And was humbled and spellbound by her as my catch!
We brought in the New Year with a wonderful kiss
It was natural and timely and I had hoped I wouldn’t miss!
It was on that night that I knew she’d be mine
Our love had begun and the stars came out to shine!

Thank you SO much! I was blessed for over 58 years! Unfortunately, JoAnn passed away last year but she is always on my mind!
