Timing

We could have met no sooner
the timing wasn't right
later, would have been all wrong
we learned that in hindsight

what brought us both together
in that small window of time
will always be a mystery
perfection, so sublime

fate has now revealed her hand
she shook the hourglass
and emptied the sand
and scattered the grains for us to find

your life and mine
like parallel lines
emerging than merging
at just the right time

I never before believed in fate
but her timing was perfect
not too soon, nor too late

love at first sight
the passions we find
earthly delights
of body and mind

on that rainy day in June
as in the woods, we shared our first kiss
fate played a symphonic tune
leading us now to moments of bliss

and moments of love
and moments of lust
moments of truth
and moments of trust

two lives joining together as one
in darkest of night
and brightest of sun
in moments of pain
and laughter and fun

for richer or poorer
in sickness and health
our love for each other
provides the wealth
