True Love...On Facebook Of All Places Poem by Jim Yerman

One never knows if they'll be blessed with true love…it shows up in the oddest places…
but when they are it is forever etched in the smiles on their faces…

I was on my Facebook the other day…watching different stories scrolling by
when an older couple…dancing…happened to catch my eye.

They were smiling…holding hands…both adorned in the color blue
It turns out she is 90 years old…while he is 92.

They were celebrating their anniversary amid their family's laughter, joy and cheers…
celebrating with a polka dance…as they have for 68 years.

Celebrating how even after 68 years…life continues to improve
and showing after 68 years…how they've still got all the moves.

But it wasn't the dancing I was drawn to…although I must admit I was impressed
It was the feeling that I had of how their life was blessed.

Blessed for 68 years watching sunsets in the evening…then in the morning rise
68 years of happiness…right before their eyes…

And I felt blessed to find this couple…on Facebook of all places…
And as they danced the Polka…I saw it….
true love
forever etched upon their faces…
