I Have A Crazy Man

(true story from long ago)


a funny thing happened today, and something so small
started it all... a simple phone call

the cell phone rang, I answered it
he said 'hey, what are you doing?'
'I'm at the airport' I replied
he gasped as thoughts were stewing

he yelled 'don't you move!
you stay right there!'
he slammed the phone down hard
geez, it hurt my hair

I shrugged and drank my coffee
then something caught my eye
he came bursting through the doors
and I was certain he would fly

he jumped right over the security scan
with flowers from the outside stand
and a teddy bear in his other hand
trailing behind him was the uniformed man

he blitzed through the concourse
until he finally spotted me
all out of breath and sweating
he came to a stop at my feet on one knee

with tears streaming down his face
he said 'without you, I'm no good'
he looked at the man beside me and proclaimed
'I love you more than he ever could'

and trying my hardest not to laugh
while he pleaded for mercy from me
I touched him and said to him quietly
'I'd like you to meet my brother,
he just flew in from DC'

A Kodak moment ~ to be sure! ~ and one to be remembered with great fondness! You captured it quite nicely with your pen!

Everything that happens to you, m'dear, is bigger than life! ~ Well, at least bigger than in most peoples' lives! lol

Precious!
