Like turquoise,
He took a chance on the ole’ gal
Dared a second glance
.
Weak and weary
Beat up and broken
From life’s circumstances
That gal was
.
He;only he had the “nerve”
To stay!
Not for a moment; but for good
.
Like turquoise,
Underneath her broken “smile”
Hide a gem…
A smile; a true smile
Only for him who dared to stay
.
Like turquoise,
He found her shine
That hide for seasons
Under the heat and cold
A few storms here and there
.
Salvaged! he did
Dusted! he had to…
With tender love and care
He; only he
Loved on the ole gal
And says it’s for life!

I believe that, once one is drawn to another, and the person responds in kind, it is a mutual polishing that sets in. No one should be forced into a relationship. It should flow naturally, even around the occasional rocks.

Lovely. A pleasure to read.
