Our Carefree Play
Shall I sit and think of you and me,
alone on a beach with a tropical sea
we have no needs for worldly news,
for deep in love we have other views...
We'll swim and splash and cavort with glee,
then lay and rest in the dappled shade of a tree,
where the cooler air offers time for hugs and more,
all alone in the reach of that pleasing shore...
And as the day passes in such great harmony,
we will share our picnic with any birds that we see,
praising their songs and their fine colors too,
as they celebrate their freedom from any zoo...
When evening calls on us to retreat to our den by and by,
we can gaze up at the lovely stars that define our sky,
some twinkle at times and we wonder if the reason why,
maybe that they are winking at lovers such as you and I...
Another day we will visit some charming woodland glade,
with sun in the clearing and cooler times in the shade,
The birds will be singing for us alone on that day,
will their chatter tell others of our carefree play?
Of course the scenery is ever idyllic when we dream,
yet we'll still have our love shield for days that are mean,
as the worries of the world will not leave us alone ever more,
but with love to support us we can soon escape to that shore...
My lovely lady, you are always at the core of these lines,
inspiring me to express how I see our future times,
when the great power of love keeps us from days far too cruel,
and allows us to smile as we face events that break our own rules...
