I loved her always
I loved her smiles
The ones she shared with so many
The way she fixed her black hair
Tied down two
French braids
Suit, skirt and brown eyes
She walked and swayed grace
The room stood up to meet her
Busy
Determined
Undeterred
Nothing could stop her

I noticed her for months
I introduced myself casually
Quietly
Morning, Day and Night
She was a spark in my life
A mark and sign

I sigh holding her now
We met so fast
And she fell
Head over heels
Into my truck
She looked so beautiful laying there
Excited she cried tears of joy
So excited I covered her face
So nobody would disturb her peace
I saved her

Not a soul will ever part us
Marie I will keep
Marie I loved always
