I met this boy
Playing with an airplane toy
We were both about two
We both liked the other, but didn't know what to do
Then we went through a phase
Called elementary days
We hated one another
And tried our best to stay away from each other
Then we became teens
The attraction returned, but remained unseen
Both of us were timid and shy
When he talked to me I did not reply
Next came graduation
A time of good-byes and celebration
Years went by
But he was still in the back of my mind
I met this man
Playing in a band
We were both about twenty-two
We both liked the other, but now we knew what to do
We dated for a while
Got married, and a few years later had a child
He was a boy
Who liked to play with airplane toys
He met a girl when he was about two
They both liked the other, but didn't know what to do
They continued through the familar succession
Until my son made a confession
He is soon to be wed
And hopefully the cycle will spread
When he has a child of his own
And it has moved out and grown |
