I was going through life, as always before.

Dreading each morning I exited the door.

My days were a canvas with no color to show,

From home to work was all I lived for.

But on this one evening unlike any before,

I was sitting alone, then came a knock at my door.

It was a friend of mine from my high school days,

And he invited my out to some crazy place.

At first I declined, as you can surely see why,

That wasn't for me, its was too out of line.

My life was simple, well dull if you wish,

I should just stay home and have none of it.

Of course I gave in after hearing his pleas,

Just have a few drinks, then we can leave.

He was my friend of friends after all,

So I grabbed my coat as we exited the hall.

It was dark and smoky and the music was loud,

I could see right away this wasn't my crowd.

But it wouldn't be long, then we would leave,

Just a couple of drinks while we shoot the breeze.

Two drinks led to three, then the band began to sing,

We spoke of days gone by and what the future may bring.

It wasn't so bad but I was ready to go home,

When a woman smiled at me, and my body turned to stone.

She approached where I sat and I couldn't conceive

If what I saw was real or simply make believe.

I had read of them in the Bible but never seen one for real,

But lo and behold an Angel had appeared.

As she got closer to my table ,came plainer into sight,

I knew I had seem the most beautiful thing in life.

She sat down at my table, not an inkling of fear.

My name is Lynn, and what is yours my dear.

We talked and talked until late in the night,

About things like work and family and life.

For the first time in years I could finally smile,

How glad I am I went out that night.

Life is no longer dreary and blue, and I love getting up

To welcome each day.

Because now she's mine and I am hers

Forever and ever: for better or for worse.
