Who Knew?

Who knew that when I'd given up

I'd find someone like you?

Who knew that we'd start out as friends

And find a love that's true?

Who knew the one I trusted most,

Whose wisdom had me snared,

Would love me too, would let me soar,

Would tell me that he cared?

I could have done things differently.

And, Darling, so could you,

If either one of us had known,

But apparently, who knew?

Hi J!

I though I'd read this poem because it was "new" and I wanted to return the favor of your visit. Well, it turns out that this piece describes exactly how I met my wife! Lesson learned...never give up!

This is simple and lyrical. Well constructed. You might laugh, but I can almost hear Patsy Cline singing this!
