Tiffany Vase
by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
With practical daisies and romantic roses
A Tiffany vase is filled.
It signifies love that came to us both --
That came to us just as God willed.
You chose not me and I chose not you,
But God saw that we were a pair.
"That couple back there in the last row," I heard,
Soon after I sat in a chair.
I had chosen the chair that was right next to yours,
Though I hardly knew who you were.
When I came in late, the speaker revealed
What God had revealed to her.
I laughed to myself at how wrong she was then,
But the joke was really on me,
For ten years later, her fiction was fact;
Now yours is the love that I see.
With practical daisies and romantic roses
A Tiffany vase is filled.
It signifies love that came to us both --
That came to us just as God willed.
