Some people have to wait <br />nearly a lifetime <br />for the perfect partner, <br />while others wait a short time <br />then find it straight away. <br />We all know it <br />when the real thing comes our way. <br />The world is no longer a mystery; <br />we seem to float on a cloud <br />when love surrounds us. <br />We want to shout it loud <br />to let everyone know that after waiting <br />the real thing has come our way. <br />The sun is no longer hid by dark clouds; <br />instead, it smiles at us each day. <br />The world seems a special place <br />when the real thing comes our way. <br />Everyone seems to be smiling <br />never a frown in sight. <br />We dance on fluffy clouds <br />nothing can mar us now. <br />Everyday is a beautiful day <br />when the real thing comes our way. <br /> <br />22 March 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-real-thing-comes-our-way/
