SEVENTEEN

She was only seventeen,

When she was wearing those jeans,

I can’t help to resist asking her name,

As one day she would be my eternal flame.

 

I just wanted to hold her tight,

But I had to make her be delight,

So she ask me out one night,

I could never refuse that invite.

 

We went shopping at the mall,

Waiting for that kiss, no time to stall,

As she drove to my front door,

Magic happened and I wanted more.

 

Soft lips and shiny barrette,

I wrote that moment in my gazette,

I went inside waiting for her to call,

As I never wanted the pieces to fall.

 

She was just eighteen,

A year flew by and it was keen,

I bought her a promise ring,

As now I felt as a King.

 

We went to college together,

She picked me up in any weather,

She wore dental scrubs,

But we didn’t go to any pubs.

 

She was just nineteen,

A woman’s body that I never seen,

It was a peaceful night,

I was a man and reached a new height.

 

She was just twenty-six,

When we opened our wedding gifts,

We flew down to Mexico,

Recalling the day that she wore that hair bow.

 

She was just twenty-seven years old,

When she had Nolan and struck gold,

Our first child made it worth living,

You were untouchable and were driven.

 

She was just thirty,

Had our second child and the house got dirty,

We almost lost Ciara in the emergency room,

Praying to God for not a night of doom.

 

Then she was thirty-two,

One day she left and flew,

Not knowing where she is,

My life would no longer fizz.

 

She was just thirty-five,

When she no longer will hide,

She will be with him every second,

Then they will never stop pecking.
