Yldara - A Glimpse at Poetry & Life

Unlikely Couple

Monday, January 28th, 2008

He is an Anglo Saxon man
Protestant by faith, a Texan
She is brown of skin, dark of hair
raised by tradition and prayer

He swears to never marry one
whose faith is like that of a nun
She holds no hope for foreign men
Faith and work kept her going then

He looks for something on the net
finds an agency without sweat
She gets asked why she’s not married
by a friend who has remarried

He gets on with his selection
can cook: a must in description
She receives many letters now
politely writing back somehow

He then writes to thirty in all
considers one or more, to call
She obtains her nineteenth letter
and answer it, she had better

He reads her note taken aback
not by what she had written back
She wrote again, after a week
his letter was a tad unique

Somehow it worked and came to pass
eight years of marriage, now surpass
He is her friend, husband you see
She is his match and mom to three
