My Best Girl

I couldn’t guess the many-a-mile

We walked together hand in hand,

Both literal and metaphorical,

Til viscid palms would not let go.

And people stare and whisper low

As though it’s hard to understand

How those our age can still engage

In childish act we should outgrow.

 

I don’t care what others think

Or how they act or what they say.

She’s my best girl,

My lucky song,

My guiding star,

My rudder, my sail.

She’s everything precious in my world as

I travel on life’s weary way.

With her hand in mine

I always can find

A peaceful ending to any travail.

 

We may not see the ending together.

Life can be cruel that way.

But I’ll hold her hand til

The last fleeting moment,

Fulfilling the vow of our wedding day.
