“She felt butterflies the day they met.
Waiting for radiation when the trap was set.
The Doctors, they knew she and he were meant to be.
So they put them together to wait, watch, and see.
She rushed to the phone to call her best friend.
Who said, ‘Girl, butterflies don't happen that often.
You better do something if you want to see him again.’
So she grabbed her pink pen and scrap paper from her purse.
He said she was eye-candy, to Tonya, the nurse.
Boldly, she wrote down her digits and sat by the phone.
Still butterflies so many years later and oh how their love has grown.
It was love at first sight.
I found Mr. Right.”
Life is simply amazing,
Lisa
