The Encounter
It began at a weekend dance
On Labason's Central School site,
When respite was given a chance
And dignity emerged with its right.
Gleefully, a rare encounter,
That inched deep in memory
And a great joy to remember
Making it a valuable story.
That lovely night can't be forgotten
Two hearts throbbed in the journey of life
Lessons were absorbed and taken
Always remembered without the strife.
Truly, life is full of mystery
Gently wrapped with a surprising gift
To be remembered in memory
When I make the change in my shift.
It's a mysterious, wonderful world
Like the whisper of the trees and the grass
The sun appears with its rays of gold
I have to pray, to thank God at last.
