Seldom does life give this rare chance at joy
That comes from a love, found true in first sight.
Thankfully, I have your sweet hand to praise.

Often it comes early, always a ploy
Although for you, take a chance I might-
Seldom does life give this rare chance at joy.

You were always so gentle and coy
Even in your voice the flaws are so slight
Thankfully, I have your sweet hand to praise.

To others you may have been a mere toy
For me you have helped me through many a plight
Seldom does life give this rare chance at joy.

Although my ramblings may start to annoy
It is your fault; you make my soul bright.
Thankfully, I have your sweet hand to praise.

I promise to always work to employ
And bring your heart to a new height.
Seldom does life give this rare chance at joy
Thankfully I have your sweet hand to praise.
