I Do Kiss

Beneath my mother’s watchful eye, We had been courting for a year And now I’m traveling all alone, Excited with a bit of fear. A thousand miles to the big city, Unsophisticated country girl, Seeking among the million faces The one who sets her heart awhirl. The train has reached my destination I’ve been traveling two days and a night. What if he is not there to meet me? An innocent in dreadful plight. I need not worry, he awaits me And is the first one at the gate. And as I feel his arms around me I know I’m with my future mate. He has made all of the arrangements, A license and a preacher too. With strangers as our two attendants, We pledge ourselves and kiss “I do”. By: Joyce Johnson 8/13/12 For PD.s Kissing Game ontest
