Serendipity

Be good at life
Big campus
First time away
No experience
With opposite sex
Opportunities abound
Time to date
Lots of women
Not too successful
Before cellphones
Until I met Robert
Bob was girl magnet
And I had the car
Girls he attracted
Were air heads
Until a blind date
Cute smart girl
That had a brain
Roomed in dorm
Knew this the one
Vincent Price
Pit and the Pendulum
Bad date movie
Next weekend
Stood up by that girl
Went to Bob's home
In small town
Nearly died
In car accident
Saved by safety belt
Rare back then
Never gave up
Called that girl in big town
Agreed to continue dating
Courtship led to proposal
The customary way
Presented a ring
Before Christmas
She said okay
Religion difference
First big hurdle
Parents had to sign
She was only twenty
Had to wait until Easter
No marriage in Lent
Wedding happened
One week honeymoon
To Niagara Falls
Five children later
Many tough years
Retirement now
Marriage still going
Genuine Love works
Your day will come
Trust in God
Serendipity
Will prevail
