The Lord saw fit to call my wife home,
I miss her... you can be sure;
But He sent me another woman to love
Who's so amazingly sweet and pure.

When we get close, I look into her eyes..
They practically mesmerize me!
They seem to change color now and then...
Especially when she laughs with glee!

I drew her to me the other night...
Right up, close to my chest.
I gently brushed her cheek with my beard
And her smile said, "I love that best!"

She's quite a woman, and quite petite...
Her hand gets lost in mine.
I bought her a gift the 14th of this month
And said, "Be my Valentine".

I'm afraid I'm really getting involved,
Probably too deep now to change my mind.
I know I'll love her the rest of my life.
She's quite the Lady, a special kind.

I hate to admit to something right here:
It's something I didn't think I'd do!
I began to un-do her clothing one night
And Lord! How the sparks flew!

Well, I backed off, and composed myself.
I really learned my lesson!
I decided to wait 'till some other time..
If she ever again felt like 'messin'.

There is one thing though, it's how she drinks!
I thought ONE should be enough!
But lo and behold, she finished that
And wanted MORE...now that's rough!

I thought I should offer her something to eat,
So I said, "what's good, .. let me think".
Do you know she by-passed all that food?
I'm convinced she wanted more drink!

Well, I said, "NO!" and kissed her again.
I'm telling you she's driving me wild!
Oh Gosh! I forgot to tell you her name:
It's KAREN, my baby GRANDCHILD!

Love, Grandpa Joe
