First Impressions
He was handsome and noble
At first glance; an example of
Someone grand
But as the time passed on
And the dusk changed to dawn
No one would lend him a hand
He stood tall and proud
In the center of a crowed
That did not reach his level
His forbidding display
And churlish wordplay
Depicted him an incarnated devil
He held no love for those beneath
Who to him weren't worth the plaque on his teeth
Then soon he became the metaphorical thorn
In the side of a women who treated him with scorn
She found him quite disagreeable in his dealings
And could not muster any cordial feelings
Her prejudice was formed in her mind
And, as always, judgments can blind
Though the pair had decided on the character of the other
A story wouldn't be a story without some twist or another
Circumstances led to the realization
That the worth of a person need not depend on their station
They were enamored and fond
When they gave it a chance; a lovely couple
In the making
After overcoming many boundaries
They found that they could talk with ease
Friendship was about giving and taking
A little more self-discovery
Then came the decision to marry
Out of a love with the power to enthrall
A first impression can be misleading
Often times it prevents succeeding
Love can conquer all
