'Surely There Is Love At First Sight' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Standing in a small café in the middle of town
He rests quietly sipping a hot cup of coffee
Thoughts of a getaway from work
And the hustle and bustle of life
Weighing heavily upon his mind

He looks up and to his surprise
In walks a beautiful woman
Her hair is brown her skin
So clear and radiant
He stood in awe of her
Amazed at how she
Caught his eye

Never had he seen such
A woman before that moved
Him so deeply
He felt she was his destiny
But questioned how can this be?

Breathlessly he finds
A reason to confront her
Though deeply shy and afraid
Of how she might react

Excuse me he said
An he spoke softly to her
I noticed your book
I have not seen that one
For a long time
It is an old favorite of mine

She smiled and said: “really”?
That is how their lives began
He really liked her a lot
At first sight and she him

They now look out the window
Of life together each day
Dreaming of more
Days together in true love
And believing that
Surely there is such a thing as:
“Love at first sight”!
