Something was different<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone\u2019s stayed over,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she\u2019s the funniest,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most beautiful woman I\u2019ve ever met.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here there is joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she is,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny and beautiful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond that, kind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the tenderness in his eyes,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he watches her<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His arm enfolding supporting numb,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she sleeps on the sofa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would dissolve iron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For here, where once there was<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartbreak and hearts broken<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the bravest at heights,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depths, speed and danger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet cautious and fearful when making decisions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risking all not to promise what he might not deliver,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dared. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And ran with all his speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And jumped with all his courage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And flew towards light and love<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the funniest, most beautiful woman he had ever met<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who opened her arms and didn\u2019t say \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You took your time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

or \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I\u2019d known, I\u2019d have washed my hair first<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which, as the funniest most beautiful woman he\u2019d ever met,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

she was quite entitled to do but instead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said kindly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here there is joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
