Hold Tight To The Special Ones

---

This old gal…

Was eating away at her wedge salad…enjoying with it…that half bowl of soup…when her attention was drawn…to a couple near by…

He ordered the chicken strips…she…a cheeseburger and fries…they split their meals…so they each had both…and while they ate…their conversation…never waned…their talk was happy…bubbly…full of laughter…it was cute…intoxicating…not meaning to eavesdrop me… couldn’t take her eyes away…

They got up to leave…he helping her with her sweater…as they passed by the booth…this husband of mine could tell…nosy me…was going to say something…and so…she did…you two…are adorable…came the words…I couldn’t help noticing how much fun you were having over lunch…you must be…

She’s my grandma…said the young man enthusiastically…and she’s…my best friend…we meet up once a week or so…

And so it is…hold tight to those special ones…find time to get together…share a meal…make memories…and make the day…of clam chowder eaters sitting nearby…who just can’t help…but feel the love…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
