Serendipity

The best way to encapsulate how you came into my life.

2,280 days later, I became your wife.

Battleship to a relationship, who would have known?

We were 18 and 20, look how much we have grown.

And quite honestly, love was the furthest thing on my mind.

Yet you were persistent & patient, truly one of a kind.

100 mile trips, not once did you complain.

Snow, sleet didn't stop you, much less did the rain.

You always made the most of the little time we had.

Tears in my eyes, you'd say "babe don't get sad"

"This too shall pass", and thank God you were right.

Now I get to hug you every single night.

Depths of my soul are known to you.

You know every fear of mine, you know every cue.

And still, you choose to love me every single day.

Embedded in my soul, forever you will stay.
