Sounded like a phony corporate handholding affair

A group of ten people saying preachy slogans

In order to get you to drink the Kool-Aid

And order seconds when you're done the first batch

Ignore the malarkey surrounding this flawed concept

Take away the number of people in the group

No shamans or preachers around for miles

Just two people in a relationship working together

To form a nice and smooth partnership

One filled with reliance and support for each other

No name calling or ridiculously silly arguments

Will it never happen? Probably every once in a while.

Let's focus on the positive aspects

Before dissecting the non-existent negative to pick at

Sure, neither party was perfect in any stretch of imagination

But to each other they were their own version of the word

She never believed herself to be any form of attractive

Until he came into her life and proved otherwise

He burned by the past and always cautious about the future

Worked on learning to believe a good thing can last longer

Than a single night or a short term fantasy

That often turned into a nightmare when true colors revealed

In the cold light of an early morning lazy Sunday

Ready for more Sunday mornings together

Either going out for breakfast or snuggling in bed together

Even eating breakfast in bed, if necessary

Merging two favorites into one lovely moment

Time to embrace the future; however long it may be.

Adventure comes in many different forms

Learning to accept that easier said than done.
