You Took The Chance Poem by Ray Hansell

You came into my life
So unexpectedly
You opened my eyes
You helped me to see

The love that you gave
To me was so brand new
I had been with other women
Before I was with you

But looking back
I can truthfully say
None of them ever
Made me feel this way

You took a man
Who was down and out
You showed him what true love
Was really all about

You lifted my spirits
You made me smile
I now see being in love
Can be so worthwhile

I hope that you and I
Can somehow make it forever
You make things that are good
Seem so much better

I want to give
All of me to you
But loving you most
Is what I want to do

I know that will be easy
When it comes to you
Because no one has ever treated
Me the way you do

So I hope that you and I
Will have a fighting chance
Because down the road of life
With you I want to dance
