More Than I ImaginedI'd pictured us many a timekissing in some Prom Night mirageI'd feel Nancy's hand melt into mineand her heartbeat through her corsagethen one day we sat on my curband talked about our teenage caresthere was no kiss or romantic wordsbut the magic of what we sharedwas more than I imaginedwhat my mind could seeI thought without all I wantedlove wouldn't be all it should bebut after such a long timeI got what I'd longed foronly for my heart to findsomehow less was moremore than I imaginedbefore we wed I'd fantasizeof buying Nancy a big, brick homebut a young man's dreams have wishful eyesand that Airstream wasn't made of stonewell, its heater didn't work rightit was drafty as an old tin shedbut the warm glow of our first nightas we spooned on that sofa bedwas more than I imaginedwhat my mind could seeI thought without all I wantedlife wouldn't be all it should bebut after such a long timeI got what I'd longed foronly for my heart to findsomehow less was moremore than I imaginedI used to picture a sweepstakes prizeor a nest egg with a nice lump sumbut seeing my firstborn look into my eyeswith his fingers curled around my thumbwas more than I imaginedmore than I imagined...(c)2006 Robert George
