She wondered could

he make her happy

his laid back charm

his boyish nature,

his strong untoned physique.

She knew he saw and

watched beneath,

her vulnerable centre

by others made weak.

would he stand beside her

hold her in challenged times

a generous soul extended to all

or when difficulties hit would he fall.

life is a risk, luck created by chance

without worry for future or fear

proving his worth they both had the time

to jump in and play it by ear
