A Chance Encounter

This is a poem I wrote my wife on our anniversary. It briefly describes my search for love and how I found it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Years ago when I was young

I began my searching for someone

A kind, sweet and lovely girl

Then one night I found a pearl

A chance encounter, nothing planned

But maybe not, was it God’s hand

That drew me there that special night

To find a love to share my life,

My hopes, my dreams to be my friend

And bring my searching to an end

To share the good times and the bad

The happy moments and the sad

Throughout the years I’ve come to see

That God had destined you for me

This day I vow my love to give

To you as long as I shall live

And cherish you with all my heart

Til from this earth I shall depart
