Before I got married
When we were dating
we'd stop by a bookstore
People said
"You two look so much alike"
I laughed because it felt good

Actually
my wife is very good looking
I am very ugly

In 35 years of marriage
I never heard anyone say that
Then today
I met a farmer couple in the parking lot
and we got to talking about this and that

“You have to work
as if there is no blood or tears
for your customers.”

I told them my story
They looked back and forth
between my wife and me and said
"You two look a lot alike."
I said, "How nice."
This time my wife laughed along with us

Really,
love makes us look alike
there are no conditions
and that's why I thought
love is beautiful and great

Oh Happy Day.
