This is Us

This Is Us

I walked into that college room and you were there,

Your yellow T-shirt smiley guy looked up to glare,

And, I scanned down to see those flipper’d toes so bare,

Now this is us!

Now forty years of hugs and kisses every day,

I think with seven grand kids we are here to stay,

I’ll love you, love you, love you till we’re old and gray,

Now this is us!
