LAST BLIND DATE It happened on a Christmas eve, back in our little hometown church, where I was seated next to her, my date. She had reluctantly accepted, and so had I, this blind date, lovingly arranged by friends before I had arrived in town on Christmas leave... But as we started singing those beautiful old hymns we listened secretly, each to the other's voice, while peeking furtively, each at the other's face, and praying silently that God would tell us if this stranger next to us might be the one we both had waited for so long... Then, when the final song was sung we peeked again and caught each other in the act, ashamed at first, that smiling eyes and lips revealed too much, but suddenly we knew the glorious truth that this was love, the real thing! Yes, God had spoken... by Willem, Dec.'99 |

Thank you, Balladeer! I wrote this to commemorate that first and last blind date she and I had, on Christmas Eve of 1939. We've had countless dates together since, most recently yesterday. At 83, we are still madly in love. Willem |
