From a Clean Slate...

From a Clean Slate to a Soul Mate

Life gives you surprises. Our new friendship was a clean slate. Fate and faith caused it to be a full plate.

————

He wasn’t a playmate.

He wasn’t a classmate.

He wasn’t my prom date.

He was a friend of a theater mate.

That mate set us up on a blind date.

Our relationship was a clean slate.

But miles apart caused us to separate.

Finding my picture caused him to speculate.

Could the relationship reanimate?

One friendly date went great.

College studies needed to dominate.

Lessons behind us, time to graduate.

That photo again caused him to communicate.

Mutual maturity caused our bond to recuperate.

Over fifty years together, we’ll never separate.
