If you looked at the odds
A challenging romance
Was noted by parental nods
Differences, we had quite a few
Sharp contrasts in personality
Most everyone knew.
You’re rational
I’m emotional
You’re frugal
I’m a spender
You’re a planner
I’m spontaneous
You’re focused
I’m fickle
You’re diplomatic
I’m outspoken
You crave value
I adore ambiance
You love classical
I rock to Middle Eastern
You are order
And
I am chaos
To this day they remain
And by magic it seems
We’re still together
Along with our dreams.
Your wisdom and kindness
Keep me in awe
Your love and integrity
Honors eternal law.
Your gentleness and patience
Saved my life
Not just once
Maybe more than twice.
As we continue our journey
From this moment on
Let’s treasure each other
As every day dawns.
We’ll be happy and proud
When we reach the end
Of our footsteps together
Lovers, lifesavers, parents
And forever best friends.
I love and respect you
And can’t wait
For the rest of our adventure together
I wish i could have commented when Jeanne was alive. A kid pushed me over another kid and knocked my skull on the curb in 1972 at age 14, at Grand County Junior High School. Unconscious 2 days. 3 weeks later, i spaced out and road in front of an oncoming car. Open head injury. 2 TBIs in a month. 1972. 14 years old. The bully got away with the first TBI. I was in st Marys Hospital in GRand Junction Colorado, for three months in 1972.
