My First Prom Date
Do you recall your very first prom?
Was it a disaster or was it fun?
From a girl's point of view, I could
barely wait, to see my date!
And run under a starry sky to meet him
at our white front gate.
The time got closer, oh where could
he be?
I was getting anxious and in living teenage
agony.
Finally, the phone call came, ah fate!
Can be so unkind, for my date was more
than late!
On a surgery table he did sleep!
His appendix, being removed, I just had
to weep.
We both looked forward to the dance.
Alas, there went my dream~ I had no chance!
But, God saw my young heart was breaking,
To the dance, I went, had no idea his
older brother, was en route to pick me
up for the prom, I was shaking,
He was older than Donnie but a great
date in every way.
A knight in shining armor, he was, indeed
on that fifteenth of May!
