First Grade, First Love

Petticoats in Sunday school
Pom-poms Friday night
Ten word notes passed in the class
Beneath the teacher's sight

What a sight you must have seen
When the rose I proudly withdrew
From the pocket of my faded jeans
To profess my love for you

The jeans were small, the rose had crushed
Yet you were oh so kind
The kiss on cheek meant so much
It's never left my mind

With many loves 'tween you and last
I've had some real good times
Close to the vest or loose and fast
Love always brings the rhymes

Through forty years of joy and pain
The pencil strokes I see
On crumpled sheet with real woodgrain
I love you do you love me

Yes or no
