Array ( [sid] => 181128 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ODD COUPLINGS [time] => 2015-05-14 00:23:07 [hometext] => No Logic needed… [bodytext] => He was tall, and she petite;
Difference of about 2 feet!
He couldn’t tie his shoes himself;
She couldn’t reach the topmost shelf.

Onlookers could not uncover;
What they saw in one another!
She was chatty; He was quiet;
He was lean; she on a diet!

They had no doubt of why or whether;
They were meant to be together!
What seems odd to you and me;
To the spirit comes naturally.

If love must match in every feature;
How then can we love our creatures?
(For want of love dogs choose to dwell;
With hairless giants who cannot smell!)

Nature in her wisdom kind;
Left our hearts both deaf and blind.
Bark or whinny, chirp or coo;
The message magically gets through!

Love exceeds our definitions;
Breaks our fondest held traditions;
Resist, and it grows stronger still;
Survives the ironest of wills!
-------------------------------------
In concrete canyons, grass still grows,
Sunlights’ warmth is all it knows.
A tiny seed will find a way;
To see the sky another day;

And thus the heart knows only this;
To seek and find it’s nourished bliss.

Opposites do attract. And love is wonderful. I wish I were capable.

Excellent man. Sometimes people look for carbon copies of themselves to love. We complete each other and should look for a degree of variation in our spouse so that as a unit you cover more ground
