Destiny

You appeared six days after the mark.
Instantly within me you lid a spark.
A beauty of six foot five.
Who made me feel so alive.
A dreamy caramel complexion.
Headed straight for my direction.
Your hands held out to me.
I wondered if you heard my silent plea.
I saw a glint of amusement behind your sexy eyes.
My stomach instantly was full of butterflies.
As we danced your body moved with such grace.
It lead me to a very intimate place.
You had the most familiar scent.
Cologne I may have given as a present.
You failed to look like a stranger to me.
You resemble someone I once knew.
An encounter long overdue.
A man I've been looking for.
Are you sure we haven't met before?
Remember holding hands as we walked down the aisle?
Remember holding your twin baby girls in the hospital so tiny and fragile?

Honeymoon in white sands and crystal waters.
Playing hide and go seek with your daughters.
Remember the time your son scored the winning basket?
How you cheered as though you were his personal mascot.

Don't you recall all the memories within the album cases?
The annual family picnics with three legged races.
Remember when your daughter aced her med exam?
How proud you felt sending all the family telegrams.
How about when your sons companies expand.
We bought the new nine hundred and nineteen acres of land.
Remember the joys love we shared?
How nothing else in this world compared.
Remember the sorrow we felt at losing our first grand child?
How in comparison everything else seem so mild.
What a journey it has been.
40 yrs through thick and thin.
I remember every little detail.
It’s six times better than the best fairy tale.
As the music slowly faded.
I became familiar with my wedding surroundings
The dance has finally come to an end.
Back to earth my mind did descend.
With that my hand I did extend.
"Hi we haven't been introduced.
I'm Destiny and would like to thank you in advance."
