Love Me

I read a note my grandma wrote

Back in 1923

Grandpa kept it in his coatAnd he showed it once to me

He said

Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago

Grandma's daddy didn't like me noneBut I loved your grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet

And run away together

Get married in the first town we came to and live forever

But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead

I found this letter

And this is what it said:If you get there before i do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long i'll beBut i'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

And between now and then

Until i see you againI'll be loving you . . .

Love, me

I read those words just hours

Before my grandma passed away

In the doorway of a church

Where me and grandpa stopped to pray

I know i never seen him cry

In all my fifteen years

But as he said these words to her

His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before i do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long i'll be

But i'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

And between now and then

Until i see you again

I'll be loving you . . .

Love, me

Between now and then

Until i see you again

I'll be loving you . . .

Love, me
