P + J = True Love 4-Ever
A True Love-At-First-Sight Story
The story, repeated time after time
They took turns as the tale’d unfold
And although we knew it all line by line
Hearing it never got old
***~***
The date wasn’t theirs, it was but a ruse
Their star-crossed-love friends needed to meet
Paul drove his friend, and Joyce couldn’t refuse
To deliver the bride, so sweet
***~***
Clandestine lovers vanished right away
Leaving them with dates poorly selected
With eyes on each other, they drifted away
Their poor dates, soundly rejected
***~***
“I do hope they got on,” Paul laughs each time
The story is told to their children
Mom says, “I’m sure they managed just fine.
I only had eyes for you then.”
***~***
They married only three months from that day
Together for sixty-three years
“ ’Til death do us part,” so they did say
She still looks for him through her tears
***~***
Love at first sight, love until their last kiss
“It may be a while before our eyes meet
I’ll see him again, I understand this
And love will go on, always sweet.”
