Married My Dream Lady |
I have often thought Of my life As a fairy tale romance. Complete with a princess An angel sent from heaven To save my life From despair and fear. It all happened In a dream One day I saw Her standing next to me, The most beautiful woman In the universe And she was talking to me In a strange language. I yelled out, Who are you? She smiled and disappeared. I had the dream Weekly for almost eight years. I went to Korea Joining the Peace Corps Because I knew she was waiting For me in Korea Then one day I had the last dream She said, ‘Don’t worry, we will meet soon” That night She walked off the bus Into my life Becoming my wife Two months later As the fairy tale romance Became real And for 40 years I have looked at her My dream lady She changed my life She took control Of my often chaotic life She straighten me out I quit hanging out in bars Chasing women She provided structure She provide meaning She was always There listening to me She was a problem solver And she was very practical Where as I am the exact opposite A wild romantic poet at heart. Totally unprepared For the real world She was all of that For me. And she was a genius At making money And investments. She joked I was a genius At wasting money And had no clue About financial matters. She was my load stone She was my everything. I am thankful every day That the gods brought us Together In this mortal world. Based on a true story. |
