He Said

“I knew when I saw you,” the boy said to the girl. His confidence of their future erased all her doubt.

“We’ll have seven children,” the man said with a nod. His matter-of-factness painted their picture.

“I’ll fly around the globe and I want you beside me,” the dad simply explained. His broad view of the world would open new doors.

“Up and down coasts, we’ll all be together,” the businessman reasoned. His work ethic provided, so they’d always have.

“Oh what a beautiful morning,” grandpa sang. His voice filled three levels that would ripple memories.

“Now one at a time, it’s how it will last,” said the jolly man. His presents surrounded, for his family was there.

“Sit down beside me and tell me your story,” the friend consoled. His patience stretched miles and time was his gift.

To the man, husband, brother, grandfather and friend. He was right when he sang; it always was with him near.
