(Lovingly dedicated to my husband Vincent Schlesier)
You came in my life like a sweet surprise
In my space like an online prize
Not wanting to see but could not ignore
Your charm lured me for more
Quick messages, text and pics
A phone call that made me think
You said, perhaps we can meet for coffee
Ah, better yet meet my family
With astonishment I said yes
Not knowing how it could be
A leap of faith, one would say
Maybe fate had a plan for me
I'll never forget that first night we met
As you walked down the steps gazing at me
With your head tilted to the side you smiled
Oh God I felt a spark that opened me
With your arms wide open and still smiling
You greeted me with a gentle squeeze
And exclaimed, "Wow, you're so beautiful!"
Then whispered, "I think my heart just skipped a beat"
Your warm welcome took me by surprise
As I stood there, weak in the knees
Butterflies crept faster in my stomach
Oh God! This must be the love I've been asking Thee
All night I watched you and I
Communicate and laugh with your family
In total surrender, with ease I must say
You and I bonded naturally
What a magical experience, a blessing in disguise
How two of a kind like us bonded so easily
Soul mates perhaps, love at first sight
Or maybe it was just our destiny
I thank God each day for this gift of love
A leap of faith that brought you to me.
I am so glad we followed our hearts
Now we trust in love through eternity.
