I remember
I was drawn to stop
at a small Baptist church
I now know why
Inside
you sat alone
my eyes would
not leave you
you looked perfect
you dressed perfect
you smiled perfect
I sent a prayer
to God
for courage to
met you
I wanted to date you
I wanted to fall in love
When the
sermon
and music ended
I walked to you
a bit nervous
and asked if you would like
to have a snack
at Mike’s Grill
For what seemed a lifetime
you looked into my eyes
then said yes
That became the beginning
of love
greater than I ever
had before.
