Love Me

<br>I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923<br>Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me<br>He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,<br>Grandma`s daddy didn`t like me none, but I love your Grandma so.<br><br>We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together<br>Get married in the first town we came to and live forever<br>But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead<br>I found this letter, and this is what it said :<br><br>"If you get there before I do <br>Don`t give up on me<br>I`ll meet you when my chores are through<br>I don`t know how long I`ll be <br><br>But I`m not gonna let you down<br>Darling wait and see<br>And between now and then<br>Til I see you again<br><br>I`ll be loving you<br>Love, Me."<br><br>I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away<br>In the doorway of the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray<br>I know I`ve never seen him cry in all my fifteen years<br>But as he said these words to her, his eyes fill up with tears<br><br>"If you get there before I do <br>Don`t give up on me<br>I`ll meet you when my chores are through<br>I don`t know how long I`ll be <br><br>But I`m not gonna let you down<br>Darling wait and see<br>And between now and then<br>Til I see you again<br><br>I`ll be loving you<br>Love, Me."
