The Matchmaker

When you meet THAT someone in the journey of life

The Journey has met a curve,

The preparation is nigh,

Timing couldn't be more perfect,

For once in my life.

Majority of my life,

Almost all my time,

I've fought alone,

With no one by my side.

But now, at this curve,

Destiny had my luck in reserve,

I got more than I deserve,

Hope the going never gets tough.

This song sings the song of life,

Of how we find everything in time,

And a tribute to you,

Who has fearlessly vouched to be at my side.

We will walk the road ahead
and if, at times it's not so easy
and we feel a little queasy,
I hope that we will be together forever,
making this an eternal partnership.

Hi again, Kevin! I just had to read this again to see how it hit me and I stand by my first review of the 4th stanza (and it was nice for me not to feel wishy-washy, and change my mind, which sounds like a personal problem, but I digress...) With the second reading, I became aware that with the last stanza, I wanted to change it to make it have a sense of active ownership of the relationship, as in your actions bringing about this great relationship. After all relationships do take work, they don't simply happen out of thin air. It's not a major change in the words-

We will walk the road ahead
and if, at times it's not so easy
and we feel a little quesy,
I hope that we will be together forever,
making this an eternal partnership.

I hope I'm not being nit-picky. If I am, just tell me to buzz off! lol

These words truly reflect what you are feeling and it's sweet. I do sense a feeling of reservation or something. Maybe not reservation, but something I can't put my finger on. I'm sorry... The only suggestion I have would be concerning the fourth stanza. Maybe change to, " These words sing the song of life..." Or "This poem sings..."
Maybe the reservation feeling is more that you are surprised than anything for this happy relationship. I haven't been awake long so my words might reflect that! lol
