To Jody With all my Love

Love of my Life

Twenty-nine years ago, my life began...

It was a dark and sultry night

When I met the one who gave my life light,

and true meaning, to love at 1st sight.

In an instant, not more than a moment or two

I knew, you were for me, and I for you.



I told my friend as we drove away

that my heart had found my "other" that day.

I didn't want to leave you, but I had to go

without the knowledge that, away, you were to blow.



For what seemed an eternity, I searched in a sweat

Until I found you again in the place we 1st met.

I must admit, my heart leaped for joy

This dude was one happy boy.



It was this night, Mr. Cool I played

to see if you would ask me to stay.

When you did, I was beside myself with pride,

had you not, I would have gone out and died,

but you again brought me life

and didn't believe me when I asked you to be my wife.



Ain't it funny as we look back over time

how it seems I was destined to be yours and you to be mine?



The years have slipped away

but the girl I married has never changed,

she was then, as she is today,

that 18 year old sweetheart in every way.



Love you always



Huck

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was written to my wife on valentines day.  I was short of cash and late leaving work, so I wrote thing in about 20 minutes, printed it in script and it now hangs on our living room wall.

It is a true story of how we met.  I asked her to marry me on our second meeting.  Took two years before I convinced her it was the real thing.
