1OOO Words?

“If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you?” Bread 1971 Married 41 years. Hmm let me see If I can make 1000 words can come to be It was a Monday in November 1983 From behind the machines my eyes did see A beautiful on lane 20 her ball to roll I took the ball and put a note in the hole As odd as it may be in the past it worked You glanced at the note and mouthed what a jerk Six months have passed and still no date Was think my time was done, it is too late June 11 of 84 we found ourselves Dennys Bound Wonderful but my wallet at home, you sat not making a sound Way to start a relationship, you moronic dope Any chance at love you pray and hope Flowers on your doorstep calls on the phone Persistent to then end to bring you home Take your son fishing off the motel steps Getting him to like me was my best bet To my amazement it worked like a charm But I really liked Jimmy so I saw no harm July 26 of 84 in your back yard we took our vows My heart filled with love I could only think WOW May 1 of 85 our Jayme was born My life filled with love lets sound the horn Forty-one years I’ve made many mistakes Your heart filled with love you found little hate I sit outside and look at the sky Asking God to please tell me why After forty-0ne tumultuous years Why is this woman I love still here OK GUESS BREAD GOT IT RIGHT 243 WORDS PUNKIN I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
