It may only happen just once in a lifetime
This random occasion that brings
A measure of friendship that is so sublime
You rejoice and your happy heart sings
You reflect on the meaning, is it just happenstance
Predestination's gift from Above
Whatever the reason it makes your heart dance
And glory in platonic love
I try not to reason, I just choose to tell
A lady named Mary I know
How much this occasion that I know so well
Still lingers as I watch it grow
