"a Girl About a Boy"

Walking down the hall at school looking at him.
All the girls say he's an eight I say he's a ten.

The way he combs his hair and the way he walks.
I love to hear his voice cause of the way he talks.

My friends all say don't be shy ask him for a date.
My time will come but for now I need to wait.

He never says a word all he does is smile.
The clothes he wears is just my style.

I wish I knew why I feel the way I do.
When they say do you remember him
             I'll say"WHO".

Such a nice perspective on young love, Teresa. Your granddaughter provided you with an excellent source of inspiration. Who cares if everyone else thinks this fella is an "eight." Hope she always sees him as a 10! Ah, young love...takes me back. Thanks, Teresa! Love, Carolyn
