National Kissing Day! (From Kisses To Wishes!) Poem by Denis Martindale

No girl saw I this fateful day - no kissing to be done!
When evening came, I paused to pray - romance had not been won!
And while I prayed, I nodded off - as I was prone to do!
And in my dream, I beg, don't scoff, the girl I kissed was YOU!
Was this a sign, a prophecy? A blessing in disguise?
A treat bestowed from you to me? If so, how cute, how nice!
If not, at least I kissed you once and lived to tell the tale!
I hope you see by this response, prayers work where deeds may fail!
To think that we could still be blessed with kisses yet to come!
I know I'll do my very best, so no need to be glum!
Two lips have I to thrill your heart! So pucker up, my sweet!
The day you let the kissing start, I'll make your life complete!
I'm not averse to marriage, dear! Or children, girls or boys!
So hurry up and make things clear - if true love is your choice!
That way I'll not depend on dreams to kiss the girl I love...
No need for fantasy's extremes - reality's enough!
