Meeting Mike!

Maureen said "Come on now, it's time we had some fun"
And before I really knew it - our journey had begun!!

Feeling pretty groovy we jumped upon the bus -
Not knowing something special was  happening to us!

We stepped into the ballroom - we thought that it was great!
We took up our positions and we settled down to wait.

The band was playing merrily, and the lights were nice and dim,
But I was feeling pretty bored - until I spotted him!!

He strode across the dance floor and came right up to me
He asked me for a little dance and I nodded to agree.

An Englishman, a farmer or a redhead I swore I'd never wed -
But that red-haired little Englishman - he really turned my head!!

It wasn't long before I knew that he had stole my heart
And we pledged our love forever and we swore we'd never part!

Within a year we'd married and began a family -
My life it really started at our wedding ceremony!!

We have two lovely children - a red-haired girl and boy
And my heart is ever pounding with so much love and joy!

I pray my life continues in the comfort of this man -
I know he loves me deeply and I love him all I can.

To think I could have lost him by saying "Go and take a hike!"
But I'm glad I shook his hand when he said "Hello - my name is Mike"
