LOVE GROWS

As strangers you meet and say hello,
And then you chat a while.
An interest is sparked,
A memory made,
A friend walks away with a smile.

Again you meet,
Smiles are exchanged,
And pleasantries are spoken.
The feelings that are born this day,
Are more than just a token.

You both have felt the misery of hurt,
And know that it is over.
With heart in hand,
You take a chance,
Your final vows are spoken.

They walk away,
Two hearts as one,
Together for all time.
For love like this comes along,
Just once in a lifetime.
