Six Seconds that Changed Everything

Meting his fate in six seconds

Six Seconds That Changed Everything
 

34 lines

One day, in September,1982
Sam Adams got on a bus
In Dongduchoen, South Korea

When he met his fate
On that fateful date,
In six seconds
His life changed.

He had been dreaming
Of meeting his dream lady
For eight years.

That morning, she told him
“Don’t worry, we will meet soon”

That night on the bus,
He saw her, she saw him.

Sparks flew from heart to heart,
She mesmerized him,
Bewitched him,
Her love mojo working on
super steroids.

Three days later, he proposed
Seven weeks later, they legally wed

Three months later,,
Celebrated their celebrity wedding.

44 years later
They were still together.

And Sam thought
About those six seconds
Every day, every moment

When he looked at her
The love mojo still working
Still mesmerized

Ever since he met his fate
On that fateful date.
