Simply Said
Love poems are written
By better men than I
I am not that outside-your-window
Serenading kind’a guy
My proposal wasn’t offered
Bent down upon one knee
Romantic sonnets I cannot read
I trip up on the word “thee”
But romance is not foreign
In the heart of this old man
Although showing it extemporaneously
May be out of my command
I am hopeful that with three little words
My romantic side can shine through
As I look you straight in the eye
And simply say, “I love you”
