Defy the Odds

To love someone who loves you back

What are the odds of that

In a world of billions

to find the one

who fills your heart

completes your soul

fits into the jagged edges

of your broken half

to make a whole

What are the odds of that

Would I risk any old venture

on such odds

Probably not

Yet it still happens

Day by day

year by year

Souls join

Lives merge

Time stops and

a love story is born

to rival the ages

It’s not guaranteed

the odds aren’t in your favor

yet it still happens

So to go through life

thinking

love’s not for you

or me and

no one will love me

and

I’ll never find my soulmate

Think again

Love’s not guaranteed

yet somehow

it seems to find a way through

to defy the odds

to break down even the hardest of hearts

to find a way when there is no way

Love

illuminates the windswept storm

melts the frozen wasteland

trickles through the cracks

warms a desolate soul

points the way

shows the hopeless one

that amid the impossible

the possible exists
