We Didn't Know

When I fell in love, I fell hard indeed

with my wonderful husband so dear,

Clueless was I of the perks to come

From marrying an engineer.

He said that he could say the same

The years would prove the teacher…

Revealing that he had surprisingly wed,

A United Methodist preacher.

A master at building decks and such,

Electrician and plumber too,

All those skills were unknown to me

It would unfold, all he could do.

He didn’t know that I would be

A very good tennis partner,

An excellent cook,  an organizer,

A poet and an author.

We didn’t know what the years would show

When I fell for him and he fell for me

But we both believe, 

when it comes to life,

We won the lottery!
