At The Top Of The Stairs

Love At First Sight

Never to believe, that I fell for you.

Not knowing where you came from, or what you do.

Our first day at our workplace.

Love in my eyes, looking up from the staircase.

First, we became the best of friends.

To chatting now and again.

Just walking by you, a chill came over me.

From your brown curly hair and our pleasant teas.

Ice rink to skating, time together was fun.

Especially swimming together under the beautiful sun.

Then camping out west to enjoy the open air.

Getting to know each other in a new atmosphere.

Engaged and ready to walk down the aisle.

We both had such beautiful smiles.

The park where the photos were done.

Filled with Autumn leaves, we had so much fun.

Who would ever think it was love at first sight.

Forty-one years later, you are like a light.

That brings joy to me every single day.

I feel so many blessings in a special way.

At first, I felt it was too good to be true.

Now I know I could never love anyone but you.

From dancing when you would spin me around.

To listen to nature sounds as we lay on the ground.

Our walks on the nature trail, picnics too.

There were so many things we both loved to do.

Now as we plan to travel and enjoy retired life.

I just want to say thank you for letting me be your wife.

The days ahead will be blessings to us, for I know this is right.

Right from the beginning, standing on the stairs, it was love at first sight.
