Just some thoughts:
“Someday - when the world is cold.”
Over the past few years I have been fortunate to have three young men in my life, our oldest grandson, Seth, our great-nephew, Adam and the child of lifelong friends, Kyle.
I often met with them to share meals, ballgames, car rides, stories and many other matters; we had early morning talks and late night meetings. Yes, I've seen them eat all the bag french fries from Five Guys.
Over the years when we’ve been together the subject of their girlfriends would often come up. It was evident that somewhere in our conversation each of them would talk of their feelings for “their significant other.” Generally I would kid them a bit about the special person in their life. I usually had a nickname for each of their girlfriends such as Sweetness, Earth Angel, etc. Their fondness for these sweethearts was evident.
On occasion I had the good fortunate to see them along with their significant other, and I noticed something about each one of them… they all had what I call the “glow.” I often teased them about their glow; but it was evident with each of my three special friends the effect these three young ladies were having upon them.
Now the three of them have graduated college. Kyle and Adam are married now; and the third, our grandson, Seth, has an upcoming marriage planned for next June in Atlanta, Georgia. All have now moved into the real world.
Someday when I’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you’re lovely with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing but to love you
And the way you look tonight
To each of you… I hope the glow is always there
and you always know how soft her cheek is.
Thanks guys.
You all are special to me. (Now all six of you.)
