Blue


That color looks good on you,

the color that well suits you is blue.

That is what he tells me anyway,

he is the love of my life so I shall believe him.

 

Tea Cake is different,

different than the last two.

I am ready to take another leap of faith,

so off to Jacksonville I go.

 

We will marry in the color blue,

it is the color that I believe is symbolic of our love.

We will live a happy life together,

And the happy life will last, I hope.

 

Tea Cake wants to give me the world,

and I am ready to let him.

We will re-start our lives

at the words of “I do.”

 

Despite the warning words of many,

including my bosom friend Pheoby,

Tea Cake is a good honest man.

I love him as much as the seas are blue.

 

Tomorrow we will say “I do.”

Our lives will forever be a bee on a blossom.

Preferably a blue blossom,

as that color is the symbol of our love.
