This is the story of two young kids, Dickie and Marlene, who didn't merely fall, but instead inexplicably plunged headfirst in love the moment their eyes met. The story follows their united paths through life from their first day together, when a spell appeared to have been cast; an unexplainable and illogical magnetic attraction. A bond immediately began to set, evolving nearly daily into total interdependence. That bond soon became an absolute union; separable only by an irresistible summons to and from the Lord. Reflecting current events in both the world in which they lived and in their own personal microcosm over the course of nearly six decades, it is told through the loving lens of Dickie's total devotion to Marlene. In verse.
