the One Thing

The one thing

30 lines

The one thing
That brought Sam Adams
Peace and happiness
Throughout his somewhat turbulent life,

Was that he had met
And married the woman
Of his dreams.

Whenever he was down
He would look at her
The love would flow.

He would recover
His peace of mind
Feeling as long
As they had each other,

They would survive
And prosper
Nothing else mattered.

Thus it has been
For 40 years since
They met

48 years after he first
Had the dream
That changed his life.

Ever since she walked
Out of his dreams
And into his life.

The date
He met his fate.

Based on my true love story
