Once young and carefree
Looking for love
Not knowing where
It might be.
A chance meeting
Led to a match
But was it a love
Meant to last?
He was certain
And knew in his heart
They should be together
Never to part.
Worried and ambitious
With mountains to climb
She had big goals
Etched in her mind.
In a flash it was over.
The years passed by.
Each married another
And led their own life.
Fate brought them together
Years down the road
Along with the lesson
That all should be told.
Older and wiser
Now she knows
The love of a good man
Is worth more than gold.
