The Accidents of Love
by Michael Doyle

Life is short and fleeting.
It leads to accidental meetings,
Some that can be meaningful in stride
If we do our best not to hide

The willingness to try 
To say hello or smile in reply.
It turns out strangers care.
Our lives were born to share.

It's an adventure lived together,
Lived for love and moments that are better.
Step by step, we find our way. 
It's all part of our living day. 

Look around there's a lot to see,
Filled with love and possibility.
It's a gift for life to be seen,
And the secret of being a human being.

A life lived well has its romance.
If only we give it our best dance.
I'll never forget that it's how we met.
The truth of our journey is one I'll never forget.

Life turns out precisely as it is meant,
Maybe it's the message that Heaven sent.
Life isn't lived in it's distant miles,
But inch by inch, we measure it in smiles.
