The Love Gods Smiled On Us

The Love Gods Smiled on Us

I have had a fairy tale life
I met and married the girl 
Of my dreams

She came to me 
In a dream 
In 1974 

She was the most beautiful women
In the whole world to me 
She spoke to me 
In a mysterious language

Then disappeared 
Only to return
Weekly 
For eight long years 
She haunted my dreams

Then one day
When I was in Korea
Where I had gone
To find her

Joining the Peace Corps
Spending three years
Looking for her

The love Gods
Intervened
And she came to life
Walked out of my dreams

Seven weeks later
We became man and wife
That was 40 years ago
Ever since then
Every day I give thanks

To the Gods of Love
For their divine intervention
When they brough this angel
To my life.
