That Girl Next Door, She's About a 4
I used to be normal, just a regular kind of guy
then I felt empty inside, with no reason why
I searched near and far, for some answer to know
how come I feel this way, how come so low?
In time, emptiness led to sadness, a fire to burn
a plague called depression, in me, now found its turn
Feelings caused me to be distraught, a daily job I fought
so into my own world I now ran, to take refuge I sought
These feelings of loneliness, can't always escape
they shatter my soul when they escalate
Perhaps this is why, I so need to find
that special one, who is exceptionally kind
How I dreamt of her at every turn
this fantasy alone, to it did I yearn
Until a day came, a day like no other
I saw her next door, I began to shudder
So this girl next door, something about her caught my eye
she was not only my solution, amazingly she lived so nearby
I saw in my heart, this special way she possessed
when I thought of her, I was no longer depressed
That was fourteen year ago, exactly four kids ago today
so I thought to give my wife this gift, in a very special way
A poem from my heart, to this special girl, once next door
who has removed my depression, it exists no more
To my dear wife, how much I owe you on this special day
for all this joy and this happiness in life did I pray
That plague once called depression, has been replaced with four
in whom you know I will forever, forever adore......................
