Like winning the lottery
Bestowed upon my eyes
At first sight of you Sharon
Your smile the endearing prize
As if in a trance
I stared in instant love
Everything else a blur
My heart engulfed like a glove
How you hadn’t known
The effect you had on me
A ten year old boy
My heart to you with guarantee
Our hands never held
Our lips never kissed
Suddenly I’ve a new career
As a loveologist
My love for you grew
Multiplying everyday
Never slowing down
Over fifty years today
Even though I lost you
Still, you’re my favorite memory
Filling my aging heart
With love’s endless energy
Yes, I’ve been Cupid’s target
Forever romanticized
Since first sight of you Sharon
Easy on the eyes
