we 1st met in the 7th grade
you sat behind me, pulled my braid
i thought that you were annoying
we ended with a journey of exploring
we wed 2 weeks after i graduated high school
everyone said we were being such fools
but we packed what we had in a truck
and set off for a new life filled with luck
we moved out to the west coast
you got a great job, you deserved to boast
we met new people & made new friends
some of them even stayed by us til the end
we made a family of five
back then it was a nice life
we eventually went our own ways
but we remained friends on most days
you were there for me, i was there for you
everything happened so fast, not a clue
now we all miss you every day
but we'll move on, we'll find our way
soon will be what would have been your 52 birthday
and with our fourth grandchild on the way
possibly even being born on that day
i know in my heart, you are always there in every way
well, she came two days before
such a blessing, who could ask for more
another addition to the Benson line
our dear sweet baby, Adeline
Happy Birthday, George
