We were it seemed a perfect match.
She caught my eye one night. She seemed to notice too.
The temperature in the room got cool. The world stopped except between us two.
B’Shert – meant to be. Susan and me. Perfect match.
We were just sixteen!
First-sight to I-DO. Just five years. Who knew it would be so soon.
Our trips to Herman Park to watch the ducks, the scenes at night from the Scenic Drive car-park.
Our family history just the same. Everything a match – even where to set the thermostat.
Fifty years later and not much has changed.
We remember the ducks from Herman park. The overlook at Scenic Drive car-park.
We remember our parents and wonder how to be good grandparents.
B’Shert – meant to be. Susan and me. Perfect match.
Some things have changed and what to do? At night she’s hot and I’m too cool.
Everything still a match – except we can’t agree on where to set the thermostat.
