The First Day We Met
I bless the day she came my way. Her quirky hat a strange display
meant not to impress me.
But her shadowed smile softened and I was smitten.
My face turned the flush of a rainbow red and what was written
revealed my growing infatuation.
Something about this lady, giving, loving, wanting, haunting
showing no pretension.
Her playful wit coming from her heart would set this woman quite apart
from all others.
What gifts were about to unfold of female attributes that made me bold
and I kissed her behind her ear.
In later days, as she has told, she thought that I was uncontrolled
but it still felt grand.
Her blue eyes seduced me and her hills and slopes added to my salient hopes
that somehow she would be mine.
So thank you God I cannot hide the glow within that is my pride
that this adored sweet precious woman , has become my wife.
And now we're in our eighth year, so let me make this really clear
I 'm still very much in love with her.
