(1234)▪︎[ How It All Happened … 10•12•2019 ]
[ We Met One Day, Downstairs In A Breakroom ]
[ After That Casual Meeting ]
[ I Didn’t Know That A Year & A Half Later I’d Be Your Groom ]
[ All Of This After I Asked You If You Wanted To
Rent The Other Room ]
[ It Seems Like We Were Meant To Be Husband & Wife ]
[ The Third Degree Of Separation ]
[ Happened Very Early In My Life ]
[ It Was Like The Turning Of The Clock ]
[ When My Father’s Mother ]
[ Lived Near Your Family Almost On The Same Block ]
[ Then I Was Asked What Your Last Name Was ]
[ Why Did She Want To Know? ]
[ Oh, Just Because? ]
[ When I Said The Name I Gave Your Mother’s Maiden Name ]
[ I Don’t Know Why I Said It ]
[ Because It Wasn’t Even Close To Being The Same ]
[ It Turned Out That Your Mother & My Step-Mother
Went To School Together When They Were Young ]
[ It’s Not Like The Ladder Was Sturdy ]
[ When I Climbed It Rung By Rung ]
[ I Loved Everything About You When We Talked Late Into
The Night ]
[ But There Was No Spark ]
[ Until … ]
[ One Day I Woke-Up & Saw You Under A Different Light ]
[ Right Away We Knew We Were Meant For Each Other ]
[ I’ve Had Plenty Of Dates With Other Women In The Past ]
[ After That Awakening Day, I Never Wanted Another ]
[ I Knew I Wanted To Marry You As Soon As Possible ]
[ But Getting You A Good Ring ]
[ Was Far From Probable ]
[ Then I Went To Alaska For The Wedding Of A Friend From
My College Years ]
[ When I Was Up There I Talked About You So Much ]
[ I Possibly Hurt Their Ears ]
[ From That Conversation a Diamond Wedding Ring Set Fell
Into My Lap ]
[ I Told Her That There Will A Gap ]
[ Between Now & When It Would Be Paid ]
[ I Thought The Woman Was So Excited ]
[ I Could Have Got Laid ]
[ I Went & Got On The Plane With The Ring Set ]
[ Stuffed In A Box ]
[ & Then Into My Pocket ]
[ I Had To Wait A Few Months Before I Could Propose ]
[ December 25th, 1994 Was The Date That I Chose ]
[ @ First Her Mom Sent Her Off To Another Room With
A Task ]
[ When She Came Back ]
[ I Knelt Down In Front Of Her & Said That I had Something
That I Wanted To Ask ]
[ As I Contemplated Where To Sit ]
[ I Looked Her In The Eyes & Asked … (WHAT TIME IS IT?) ]

[ Roses, Roses A Dozen Roses For You ]
[ How Many, How Many? ]
[ There Should Be A Bunch Of Six Times Two ]
[ I Wanted To Send Two Bunches Of Six In Each ]
[ One Bunch Is Yellow ]
[ & The Other Is Peach ]

[ That It Would Make Your Day ]
[ I Wanted It To Be Large ]
[ & In Charge ]

(539)▪︎[ To You, My Wife … 7•3•2021 ]
[ Well The Year Was 1994 ]
[ I Was In A Tumultuous Relationship ]
[ So I Decided That I Didn’t Want Anymore ]
[ I Moved To A New City For A Fresh Start ]
[ To Lick My Wounds ]
[ & Try My Hardest To Mend My Bruised Heart ]
[ Then This Nice Fellow Employee That I Worked With
Came Up To Me & Asked Me Out For Her Good Friend ]
[ I Smiled & Told Her That I Was Flattered ]
[ But I Said ( NO ) & Told Her It Was Because My Heart
Was On The Mend ]
[ Then I Met This Girl In The Breakroom For Employees
One Day ]
[ I Guess I Only Had A Few Words To Say ]
[ That Chance Meeting Completely Changed The Trajectory
Of My Life ]
[ That Chance Meeting Was With My Future Wife ]
[ It Took Me A Few Months To Realize Who She Was Going
To Turn Into ]
[ Because Throughout The Years I Had Unsuccessful
Relationships With Quite A Few ]
[ I Finally Found The Cinderella That Would Fit Into My
Slipper Of Glass ]
[ My Heart Was Telling Me That This Relationship Will Last ]
[ & She Is Nothing Like Any Of Those Women In My Past ]
[ If Women Have Dreams Of A Knight In Shining Armor, What
Do Men Have To Dream Of? ]
[ How About A Beautiful, Caring, Understanding Princess
That Is Full Of Love ]
[ That Lady That I Met In The Break Room By Chance ]
[ Is The Only Woman Who Makes My Heart Dance ]
[ She Has A Beautiful Soul ]
[ & She Is The Reason That I Feel Whole ]
[ We Have Been Through Our Ups & Downs ]
[ & Through The Last 27 Years We Have Covered Alot Of
Ground ]
[ But From What I’ve Found ]
[ My Only Role ]
[ In Life ]

[ Knowing That You Want Me To Stick Around ]
[ You Are ]
[ The Brightest Star ]

[ You Have Had Many Opportunities ]
[ To Catch The Next Greyhound Bus ]
[ Whoever Said ( YOU COMPLETE ME ) Could Not Have Said
More Appropriate Words ]

[ Being Single Is A Computer World, That I Want None Of ]
[ I Believe In The Old Fashioned Way ]
[ Of Finding True Love ]
[ I Would Never Pass As A Computer Nerd ]
[ I Think Being Single ]
[ Is For The Birds ]
[ I’d Be Lost & I Would Experience The Spins ]
[ It Would Have Me Sleeping ]
[ On Needles & Pins ]
[ Well We Have @ Least 26 More Years To Go ]
[ Where Did You Think We’d Be 24 Years Ago ]
[ Are You Where You Want To Be? ]
[ Is There A Bright Future For Us That You Can See? ]

[ Being By Your Side ]
[ Is Where I Know I Belong ]
[ Day After Day ]
