Ah, young love is an amazing thing!

His name was Dennis and he was so smart.

He said I was his queen and he was my king.

I didn’t know what I was feeling but he had won my heart.

 

This year, our town was hit by a storm,

I had never known such disaster.

Dennis lived in a trailer, I was afraid for that was my norm.

My mother drove me there but I begged her to go faster.

 

His trailer was damaged but he was unhurt.

That was a lot to feel when you’re small.

Our own backporch was blown away, leaving nothing but dirt.

It took the roof, the rails, the steps and all.

 

I don’t know what happened to my Dennis Dear,

His family moved away the following year.
