I Met A Lady One Day
by Michael Doyle

I met a lady who knew all the ways of love
And she came into my day like a voice from above 
I wondered what I might have to give her in her day
Having nothing special to add, I gave her my time anyway 

She had a face that made me deeply smile 
And the type of looks that didn't whisper denial 
But made me wish and somehow made me dream 
Wondering if touching her would be like a heavenly being

She took my hand, and as we walked 
The more deeply we entwined and talked 
Peeling back the layers, I found her fascinating
With each new thought beyond titillating 

I wondered what it was that made me smile so  
All the same, I have decided to give time with her a go 
Maybe life comes down to something as simple as a smile
I guess I'll know the passing answer after a while

It seems to me that she has led quite a life 
I wondered if she could picture becoming my wife 
How tame that would be compared to where she had been 
And if she would long at times for back then 

Still, I knew if she was meaning her words for real 
She was the type for which I could always feel 
Her presence goes beyond the mere beauty seen 
She'd easily be one of my favorite human beings
