I read a note my dad wrote, back in 1963
Mom kept it in her purse and showed it to me once
She said Son, you might not understand but a long long time ago
Dads Father didn’t like me much, but I loved your father so.
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together, get married in the first town we came to and live together forever
But nailed to a tree where we were 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 be
But I'm not gonna let you down just you wait and see
And between now and then until I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me
