When I was young
I had a dream
Like all little girls do
I dreamed that I was going to grow up
And
One day become
Mrs. Robinson
All I wanted was happiness in between
Full of love and family
It’s certainly a common dream
But knowing who you would end up being
And knowing this as a child
Is something quite special
As a child
I never put the face and the name together
As the years passed I met Joe
Although I knew his last name was Robinson
I never put two and two together
That the Joe I grew up knowing
Was the same Joe Robinson I would eventually marry
When I think about it now
It’s almost like a fairytale
Although 9 years my senior
It didn’t seem to faze me
There was no one else that had
Ever captured my heart the way he had
Nor the way he still does
There has always been something about his smile
How it lays perfectly across his face
Each time our eyes met
There was such a twinkle that danced from within his eyes
His cheeks were always rosy
And the gentle laugh that danced at the edge of each word he uttered
Kept me listening and hanging
To all he had to say
And making me wish I never had to leave
I feel so lucky to have been able to have a love for so long
And then following through on the feelings
Until we were wedded
Although we both had other partners
We finally found our way
And in the end we ended up where we were always meant to be
So if you have ever had a dream
Don’t let it go
It might not come today or tomorrow
Just wait
It will find its own way
True love takes time, patience and dedication
How lucky I am to have my JR
And living in my real-life dream world
Where nothing is perfect
But is indeed real
How Lucky I am©
