Her eyes, her smile, dam how did I become so lucky in love with a girl name Gretchen.

Two dates we’ve danced, in rhythm and rhyme,
Once to salsa beats, once lost in time.
Her eyes, a deep blue, a vivid sea,
In them, I find an endless mystery.

Gretchen, her name, a melody sweet,
With a smile that makes every heartbeat.
A long work week, from dawn till starlight,
Yet, she glows with a radiance, oh so bright.

Wednesday and Thursday, my days to rest,
When our paths diverge, at life’s behest.
Yet in our hearts, the longing stays,
Counting down to her free day’s.

Her heart, a beacon, pure and kind,
A gentle soul, so hard to find.
A daughter grown, and now flown the nest,
In her role as a mother, she was the best.

A manager at the heart of retail’s realm,
At the helm of Walmart, she takes the helm.
Long hours she toils, in labor’s dance,
Yet never misses a chance for romance.

Tuesday approaches, with anticipation,
Dragon lights will brighten our fascination.
In the glow of lanterns, we’ll find delight,
Two hearts intertwined in the night’s soft light.

Her beauty, her strength, her radiant smile,
Make every moment, every mile worthwhile.
With Gretchen, life seems to gleam,
As we dance in the light of an unending dream.

In the quiet corners of the digital expanse, We met, two hearts caught in an algorithm’s dance. Her name was Gretchen, my light unseen, A glow I found on a pixel screen.

In the world of Facebook, a connection strong, Our words, our hearts, a shared song. In the twilight years, of fifty and some, We found something that made us hum.

In text typed out, we found a flame, A shared language, a common game. Her laughter echoed through the lines, Her wisdom, like the oldest vines.

Now comes Wednesday, a night of chance, Gretchen and I, we’ll take the dance. Under the stars, our spirits alight, With the rhythm of the night, holding us tight.

From screens to ballrooms, our story unfolds, Two hearts emboldened, as the future molds. A testament to life, love, and fate, That even in our fifties, it’s never too late.

On the dance floor, we’ll spin and twirl, In the dance of life, man and girl. And to this melody, we’ll sway, Bound by love, come what may.

Through the lens of a Facebook glow, We’ve found a love, eager to grow. And so, dear Gretchen, with you I’ll dance, In the grand ballroom of second chance.
