One who fears the heights br And another lone of heart br Struggled from isolation’s depths br Hoping to make a fresh start br br One who always occupied br The same solitary spaces br Through a curious window found br Another who traveled to many places br br One who never really searched br For a lifetime counterpart br Dared make a real connection with br One who knew more of Love’s Art br br One who never tried, yet true br One who tried and lost a few br Steeled themselves as small steps they took br To precipice’s edge to risk a look br br Two having weighed the risk br Of making promises to keep br Held hands and shared a smile br Then together took the leap br br One and One became One br On Leap Year Day 2004 br Instead of the separate Two br That they had been before br br So if you are thinking of br Taking just such a leap br For the sake of sharing love br That’s both true and deep br On Leap Year Day in 2008 br Leap, Leap, I say! br Leap! Marriage is great! br Leap! Leap! Leap! br Leap! Don’t hesitate!br br Mary Havranbr br
