People often wonder how spouses, they did meet, Did they see a stranger, a-walking down the street?, My parents, at a Temperance Lodge,  The date, the tenth of May, Dad saw mum, then told his pal,  "I have a date, today."  They stayed together, thick and thin,  Not saying ALL was smooth, Love was strong as e'er had been,  Their problems, they did soothe. Myself and mine, I often tell,  For us ,  'twas a  -  "blind date"   Now, NOT two strangers meeting 'cold',   I'll tell you of OUR fate.

I hadn't even noticed her,  As service she did give, We all have gifts that we do use,  Us, to survive and live. As our small group, convention o'er, Di d wait for taxicab, To train station deliver us; A chance she'd quickly grab.

“There’s too much love that’s shown here” No one has ever said, Though better THAT than have neglect,  A lack of love, is dead. Our country church, once more has shown Loves GUSHES through its veins, It comes as second nature there, To show love, they’re at pains. A ‘mention’ of a problem,  “To help, what can we do?” Before solution offered, They’ve given one to you. At that, it’s not just praying, Though that is ALWAYS good, But ‘ssistance beneficial,  Which puts one in GREAT mood.  I cannot give them thanks, enough,  Though ONE thing I MUST do,  That’s thank the ONE who THEM made,  To show their love to you.
