On a wonderful day,
Much like today,
I turned and saw your eyes.

I could not turn back
Upon my way
When seeing those midnight eyes.

In them, I saw
Hope and such beauty.
I felt I had nothing to say.

So I found something pretty
That you wore on that day,
And complimented, come what may.

You smiled up at me,
And how your eyes shined
And sparkled, oh so wondrous!

I was taken aback.
For I did not know
That angels were among us.

But, shy as I am,
I just told some jokes
And watched that glimmer continue.

And the more that I saw
Of those dark yet bright spheres,
The less I wanted to leave you.

I could not admit,
Just straight to your face,
That your beauty simply astounds me,

And so I now write
Of those wondrous eyes,
That, by God’s grace, for a moment, had found me.
