I know what I want to say here, but I'm not sure I make my point. Still, I think there is some value here.
To my wife of 43 years.
She was a city girl and I a small town boy.
What did we have in common?
(Her hair was auburn red, like the very last touch of sunset.)
She played the violin and I played football.
What did we have in common?
(Her eyes were a blue dark as midnight.)
Her father was an engineer and mine a roofer.
What did we have in common?
(Her freckles danced and swirled and danced again.)
She came to school to learn I came to play.
What did we have in common?
(Her dimples drew the eye like a magnet iron.)
We met by chance at a dance I hadn't wanted to attend.
What did we have in common?
(Her smile lit the room and I was taken.)
When bodies come together there’s a flash
When souls embrace, the light outshines the sun.
What did we have in common?
Not a single thing.
No. Not a single thing.
