I Come From A Long Line Of Love

Last post for the night. ( I have barely posted the past month and then I post three times in one night?!?) My friend Samantha asked me to go to her friend's reception tonight with her because we were supposed to hang out. On our way out I was looking at the pictures and there was a poem. Tears streamed down my face as I read it. I was a little surprised because I don't normally get that emotional when I read stuff. I guess it has a lot more meaning to me but I thought I would share it with you. I googled it just now and it appears it is actually lyrics to a song by Michael Martin Murphey. Enjoy.

A LONG LINE OF LOVE
Bought a beautiful diamond ring,
Offered it to the sweetest thing, I know,
And she said she would take it!
Started making some wedding plans,
She looked at me and she took my hand, and said,
Are you sure we can make it?

I said, My granddad’s still in love with my grandma, I said,
My dad still thinks my mom’s the sweetest things, he ever saw
I come from a long line of love,
When the times get hard, we don’t give up.
Forever’s in my heart and in my blood,
You see, I come from a long line of love.

Years went by and we had a son.
Now he thinks that he’s found someone, for him,
And they’re planning a wedding.
He called me up on the phone today,
Just to see what I had to say, to him,
Did I think he was ready …

I said what his grandfather used to say to me,
It’s been handed down for ages,
It runs in the family
You come from a long line of love
When things get hard, we don’t give up.
Forever’s in my heart and in my blood,
Son, you come from a long line of love.
We come from a long line of love.
