Day One

Day 1 is when you winked at me Day 2 I saw you grin Day 3 is when you blew a kiss Day 4 went out for a spin Day 5 is when you held my hand Day 6 gave me a kiss Day 7 I gave up being coy Day 8 …well, that was sheer bliss Day 9 we looked at the stars Day 10 swam in the sea Day 11 I cooked you a meal Day 12 you ravished me Day 13 we had our first fight Day 14 we didn’t speak Day 15 we kissed and made up Day 16 you made me weak Day 17, 18, and 19 They all started to blur Day 20 is when you said to me “Be my forever girl!” Now we are just counting years And counting young’uns too If I had to do it all again I’d start Day 1 with YOU!
