It'Ll Heal Before You Marry

If I scraped my elbow
Or skinned my knee
From childlike falls,
(Scars I still carry)
GrandDaddy would laugh
And say with a chuckle,
"Ahhh, now, son...
It'll heal 'fore you marry."

So cute! and yet it holds a much deeper meaning then just a scraped up elbow. I love it! Keep up the good work! :)
