Notes About The Poem

Who Would Have Thought

Who Would Have Thought
By Valerie D. Staton


The first time we met I was a bit scared
To be in a union unequally paired

You smoked cigarettes, I did not
You liked the cold weather, I liked it hot

You drank alcohol, I drank decaf tea
Who would have thought you’d be the one for me?

Your clothes were unkempt and so was your hair
My friends were not fond of you, but I did not care

Shameful how people look outward not in 
I saw a beautiful heart beating within

Only I could see the gem standing there
A gift that the Lord decided to share

We’ve never argued, nor have we ever fought
An oddly matched couple...who would have thought

Caren Krutsinger January 23, 2019 at 12:43 PM I always say "you love who you love who you love". I stand by this, and so does your poem. This is a tribute to you also to see past the outside stuff which is nothing at all really.
