Genuine True Love Sighting
Just felt like I had to share
A few thoughts that I wrote
Of how you both inspire me
So this is a thank you note
Now first I will tell you
A few things about me
With a brief description
And a little bit of history
Been divorced five times
Raised my children on my own
Working several jobs at a time
And now they are all grown
With sixteen grandchildren
And another one on the way
I’m filled with many blessings
And most thankful each day
I carry a cheerful attitude
Keeping on the sunny side
Try to always help others
And most rules I do abide
There is just one little thing
In this life I wasn’t certain of
If there could possibly really be
Two people who share true love
Every once in a blue moon
I’ve caught a glimpse or two
Of some couples who appear
To be carrying love that’s true
My hopes have stayed high
For there to be a possibility
That true love really exists
Maybe even one day for me
Then the day finally came
When I saw the both of you
Walking together hand in hand
With a genuine joy shared by two
You both shined so brightly
Initially it was a big surprise
Then many more times again
I could hardly believe my eyes
I knew I had to say something
So I could let you both know
How much you encouraged me
With true happiness that shows
Today I saw you both again
When I drove down the alley
As you sat on that yellow bench
Laughing together so happily
I stopped for just a moment
As a smile grew on my face
To catch a view of two people
Enjoying each other’s space
You do share something special
A relationship of the right kind
That genuine true love together
Most people are searching to find
Some people never really find it
And some will never even try
Some never knew they had it
Until it has slipped right on by
Never let go of what you have
Just hold on through eternity
Because that’s what true love
Is genuinely supposed to be
