Had I Not Stumbled
Had I not stumbled,
as you walked across the street,
I would never know
how sunlight gently dances,
when it twinkles into your eyes.
Your strong arms reached out
and ever so tenderly,
caught my falling shoulders.
Heavenly music sounded
as you held me in your arms.
You, your princely bow,
"arigato" on my lips,
your smile warmly felt;
A dream to last forever,
to make my captive heart melt.
