You Tease Me Still

You tease me still

about our first date.

Blindly meeting you,

arriving so late.

Nerves showed,

Jack the Ripper.

Ended up just being

neck nibble nipper.

Thirty years later

brown eyes are blue,

and I am here safely

married to you.

You tease me still,

grandchild on your lap

head on you shoulder

drifting off to nap.

A blind date led to

Seeing you clearly

and I've never let go

I love you dearly.
