I was born in Redwood <br />You in Jersey City <br />When I was one I stood <br />Later I’d be witty <br />You were always good <br />You turned out so pretty <br />I met you when I could <br />Back then I was giddy <br />Somehow you understood <br />We danced to a ditty <br />Me, barefoot in the hood <br />Stupid, what a pity <br />Then we met like we should <br />In another city <br />Soon, I knew that I would <br />And I fed that kitty <br />Looking for my knighthood <br />Twenty five years of me <br />And all that you withstood <br />Thank you, I’m on one knee<br /><br />Paul Nelson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twenty-fifth-anniversary-2/
