The Story

I had to get out,shoes quickly upon my feet
              I burst out the door not knowing who I was soon to meet
                     Something pushing something pulling me where I needed to be
                                        A feeling I wasn't sure how to take
                                        An emotion so serial, surely a fake

                      Suddenly serendipity seamlessly shoving me somewhere
                                                     ''Then a blur''     
                   My next memory was of hundreds of people with the faded face
                                       Except for one starring back at me
                            What pray tell did this magnificent creature see

                                     All it took was a moment,a simple glance
                                                     A second in time
                                     An eternity she offered with but one chance
                    
                         So i said Hi,how are you''what more did I need''
                         Satisfactory not satisfied-thank God for greed
                              May I steal you for a moment for these words I can't let pass by
                                                   Maybe just words in the wind to you
                                      But this will be our story please don't make me lie
                                 
                               She turned with that calculating smile and infectious laugh
                                                              It was so unfair

                              But hello I did say,such a simple and remarkable word on this day
                         Many more word,thoughts,memories and children we would soon share
                                                   A Great Adventure,nothing could compare
              
                                       I was blessed with this wonderful life for fifty-six years
                                Then father time came along to steal our minds and take my dear
                                            So to those whom dare not try- trust me in this
                                                                    Just say Hi
                           
      Dedicated and inspired by Wild Bill and his adoring wife V.
      Can't wait to see you just not anytime soon!!!Doc
