Sometimes It Takes Time Poem by Ray Hansell

Love had never found her
Back in her younger years
While other girls went out on dates
She spent each night with her tears

She always wondered out loud
If love would ever come her way
She thought about it often
Like, just about every day

She could never understand
Why love seemed to pass her by
She wasn't sure if it was her
So alone in her room she'd cry

But than one day in her later years
She met herself a man
Slowly they fell in love
Soon they stared to plan

They picked out a wedding date
They planned it in September
Than together they agreed
It would be a wedding to remember

She had learned through the years
That finding true love took time
Like with anything else in life
Sometimes, we just have to stand in line
