Common

They say she has a common way,
With a very common say.
And that she talks a common talk,
With a very common walk.
Her manners are of common lace
And they say of common grace.
She has a very common smile
And her eyes a common style.
Her laughter is a common round,
Just an average common sound,
But when she lays her hand in mine,
All that's common, turns divine.

Great, as per usual! Love the one line break without the word 'common'. You know if it had 2 more lines it could be a contemporary sonnet, with a couplet at the end.
