I can't believe I'm marrying My grandma's paperboy! She said that you were "dreamy" And the sort I would enjoy. My grandma! Well, I humored her And took a look at you, And saw, those many years ago, That what she said was true. But not so fast, because we lived A continent apart, And were too young to comprehend The wisdom of the heart. We needed time to grow into The truth that we had seen, And let some others stampede through The years that came between. But Grandma always said that you Were just the one for me, And now we are all gathered here To publicly agree! How often can we say that love Was truly at first sight? But since I first laid eyes on you, I've known Grandma was right! Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
