Serendipity
By: Noah Eaton
3/14/02

It was a sunny October day
All the children were out to play
Toddling on the sidewalks with their chalk
Playing jacks and hop-scotch
I couldn't help but cry
Feeling all my youth has died
But now you are here with me
I know I've found my destiny

Am I a fool to think we're meant to be
Am I a fool to think there's anyone for me?
I may be a fool
But I know what makes me happy...

It's serendipity
I have tripped to the soles of your shoes
My sweet baby
I have fallen in love with you...

It never helped to count sheep to fall asleep
Now when I think of you, it's such a treat
All this dreaming of pillow talk and star-gazing
Into each others dreams
I wrap all your poems in a blue ribbon
Pray in Church on Sundays
Go roller-blading and dancing on Fridays and Saturdays
If we can be joined together someday soon
As lovers always do...

Am I a fool to think we're meant to be
Am I a fool to think there's anyone for me?
I may be a fool
But I know what makes me happy...

It's serendipity
I have tripped to the soles of your shoes
My sweet baby
I have fallen in love with you...

Fireflies can't compare your light
Your ebony eyes are darker than the night
And I see all the stars shimmering
And shooting stars sliding from the warm tears you cry
Your heart beats like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
Your lips swing in flamenco, they are always dancing
There's nothing like your love...
There's nothing like your love...

Am I a fool to think we're meant to be
Am I a fool to think there's anyone for me?
I may be a fool
But I know what makes me happy...

It's serendipity
I have tripped to the soles of your shoes
My sweet baby
I have fallen in love with you...
Serendipity...
Serendipity...
Serendipity...
I may be a fool...
I may be a fool...
I may be a fool...
But there's nothing like your love...
There's nothing like your love...
I love you
I love you, sweet Joanna...

you're in love alright..that's not foolish ...I hope you're getting something back on your time spent the poem is much like a song..maybe the first stanza could be more decriptive..just a thought otherwise as a poem/melody it's sweet.

Well - I surely couldn't resist reading your version of "Serendipity".. This is the title of my 'signature' poem, my Mistletoe friend... and you've done me proud...

Sounds like love lyrics.  Do you write music, too?

Thanks for sharing your happiness.  It warms the heart.

This says it all!
You strum the heart strings
of angels in love.

Beautiful Noah~

So many people never really know what makes them happy... is it any wonder they don't know what path to take to get there? *S* You know, M'toe... this tender beauty is proof of that. *S* I hope your path is a smooth one. *S*
