The Blind Date

Posted on March 4, 2016November 28, 2019 by Journey Waters
Mom and Dad
Mom and Dad’s 50th Wedding Anniversary

Forced together by others
for reasons unknown
a Vet returning from service
meets a woman who wasn’t alone

What is this attraction
two people share
as chemicals within
charge the air

Sparks fly
Angels Sing
Praise the Lord
They’re jumping in

Families unite
then fall apart
Life replaces Love
that’s were troubles start

Four children born
raised and grown
each vastly different
from the other they know

Would they have taken that jump
50 years ago
if they knew just how difficult
time would flow

Their legacy created
a journey coming to an end
the circle almost complete
and that is when

Love
Replaces
Life
