Bobby & Beannie

THEY WERE BOTH YOUNG WHEN THEY FIRST MET
HE KNEW SHE WOULD FOREVER BE HIS PET
SHE WAS SEVENTEEN WHEN SHE BECAME HIS BRIDE
AND HE WAS JUST FULL OF LOVE AND PRIDE

YES THEY WERE MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE
AND HE WAS ONLY MAKING MINIMUM WAGE
TIMES WERE TOUGH AND MONEY THERE WAS NONE
BUT THEY NEVER REGRETTED WHAT THEY HAD DONE

HE HAD A JOB AT BAUSCH AND LOMB
AND HAD THEMSELVES A NICE LITTLE HOME
SHE WANTED TO START HER FAMILY TREE
AND SOON ANNOUNCED THERE WOULD BE THREE

A LITTLE GIRL THEY'D HAVE SURE WAS SURE OF IT
AND THEY GAVE HER THE NAME, ANNETTE
ANNETTE WAS BORN ONE SPRING DAY
AND SOON LONGED FOR A BROTHER TO PLAY

WELL THAT FAMILY OF THREE SOON BECAME FOUR
AS THEY WELCOMED WITH LOVE ONE CHILD MORE
A SON THEY HAD AND WHAT A JOY
ROBERT JR. THEY'D CALL HIM, THEIR LITTLE BOY

THEIR FAMILY WAS THE PERFECT ONE
ONE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND ONE HANDSOME SON
THEY HAD THEIR PROBLEMS LIKE YOU AND ME
BUT AFTER ALL THEY WERE A FAMILY

A COMPANY THEY BUILT WITH THEIR OWN HANDS
THEY EVEN WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A VAN
THEY WOULD CLEAN FROM ROOM TO ROOM
AND THEY CALLED THEIR COMPANY "BRUSH AND BROOM"

WELL THEY GOT TIRED OF DUSTING AND MOPPING
AND STARTED TO LOOK AT APARTMENT HUNGTING
THEY SOLD THEIR HOME AND THEIR COMPANY
JUST ANOTHER CHANGE FOR BOBBY AND BEANNIE

THAT FAMILY OF FOUR EXPANDED TO FIVE
WHEN ANNETTE BECAME MR. TOMLISON'S BRIDE
AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW THEY ADDED ANOTHER
BOBBY AND BEANNIE ARE NOW GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER

ALYSHIA'S HER NAME, AND SHE IS A JOY
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA KEEP BUYING HER TOYS
THEIR LIVES HAVE BEGUN ALL OVER AGAIN
THIS NEW GENERATION OF LOVE TO CONTEND

THROUGH GOOD TIMES AND BAD, THROUGH LAUGHTER AND TEARS
THEY'VE MADE THEIR MARRIAGE LAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER AND THERE'S STILL A SPARK
HOLDING HANDS AND TAKING LONG WALKS IN THE PARK

YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IS MUCH STRONGER NOW
DID YOU EVER WONDER IF YOU WOULD KNOW HOW
TO KEEP A LOVE BURNING AND FULL OF DESIRE
OR DID YOU HAVE HELP FROM SOMEONE UP HIGHER?

THIS POEM I HAVE WRITTEN IT COMES FROM THE HEART
AND I SHOULD END IT NOW BEFORE THE TEARS START
BUT BEFORE I END IT JUST LET ME SAY
I PRAY YOUR LOVES LASTS FOREVER AND A DAY!
