Once Upon a Rhyme

How we met

Looking back in time I remember how we met And now it seems like oh so forever ago I was not too hard to get We were talking on the phone and we said hello

About us I still wasn’t sure So I proceeded with caution Then I learned your heart was pure By then I was gotten

While you didn’t have me at hello I was curious to learn more about you Baby you somehow won me over though Because with me you stayed true

People called it puppy love At 15 they never would’ve believed we’d last But our love has remained tough And in all this time we’ve created a very long past

Remember when we felt it was just a piece of paper So we waited a long time before we were married I still remember how it felt so major We didn’t know that those feelings were deeply buried

Now we’re older, gentler, finer We sometimes can forget But our love is a good reminder Of how we very first met

Hello lover Your presence always brings such color

For my loving husband. May we keep our love strong.
