The 4 of Hearts

By Grace O’Reilly

He saw my picture on a friend’s laptop

“Who is she?” he asked

“She is taken” our friend Leah said

But that was in the past

A few months later he met me in person

He as nervous as a child

I then single so he had a chance

And this did make him wild

I at the time knew nothing about him

Though he knew loads about me

Neither of us knew that only months later

He would get down on one knee

“I have got to woe her”, he thought

I really want her heart

“Pick one and don’t tell me which one”

His hands full with a deck of cards

It was the 4 of hearts I chose

When he did his magic card trick

While taking his heart too, I did not know

Was it love or was it magic?

With a beautiful baby girl

2 years almost we are wed

He is the love of my life

Thanks to the 4 of hearts in red
