Puppy Love
“It’s just Puppy Love” they said
As they sat by the lake that day
A young couple, fresh 16, enjoying time together
Tears fall as she refuses to leave him,
Never realizing, love can grow with time…
10 years later
The same couple on their wedding day,
Their young son carries the rings.
Tears of joy fall from her beautiful eyes
As she says the words “I Do”
40 years later
An old couple happily walks together,
Slowly making their way
As they approach the lake,
The old man begins to breath hard
Confused the woman asks him what’s wrong?
“It’s just Puppy Love” he replied
As a tear rolled down his wrinkled cheek.
