GRADUATION DAY
Descending the dais,
diploma grasped tight
Greeted by kind, mesmerizing blues eyes,
wind swept blond hair, gorgeous smile shining bright.
I felt as if given the dang Nobel Prize.
She, one of many admired from afar.
A girl not shy geeks like myself could befriend.
I wasn’t handsome or drove a nice car.
Of her my assumptions proved wrong in the end.
She spread her wings, flew high in the sky.
Aboard big jet planes her service to lend.
Some surely thought, when her beauty they'd spy,
they hired real angels onboard to attend.
Many years later, remembering her face
I wondered how she is living her life.
Married, with son in a quaint seaside place.
Exemplary mother, true loving wife.
Fast assuming good friend and confidant roles.
Sharing a common past, present happiness and woes.
Helping each other’s mind, body, and soul.
Glad that this time I did not presuppose.

NaPo/GloPoWriMo poem #14. A tribute to a beautiful woman, inside and out, that I've known since junior high and with whom I have reconnected to form a wonderful friendship.

Funny how people many times are not what we assume from a first impression, or even before we actually take the time to exchange.
Nice poem
