Soul Mate

You weaved a pattern of beautiful uncompromising thoughts into my head

And from your mouth you uttered word of symphonic wisdom

They said love was dead…everyone was saying it

But you still held on to the belief that there was a soul mate waiting

If not for everyone, but just for you….

I had flaws, achy limbs and flabby jaws

I could be moody, grouchy even callous

you said I Never gave myself a chance to see what all the fuss of love was abaout

You said you could seein me not what I was but what I could be

You saw more in me in those 2 hrs than I had in a lifetime of woe

I didn’t like change, having lived on my own all these years

Not accustom to help…after all God helps those who help themselves…

Pressing on through the years one mouth to feed

One cup one plate a single bed was all I ever assumed I’d need

Unperturbed by my reluctance you took my hand

And led me right down Market Street on that bright sunny day

I remember it as if entering the Promised Land

There were giants there but we towered above them all…

There we walked and talked and laughed.

And for one moment in time I forgot my lonely pain

And regained my stride, feeling proud as pink

And started to see the world through the eyes of another

And spoke in words I thought would never belong to me.
