Danny - Part 2 -
_____________________________________
It's been almost four years since your smile electrified my eyes
just to watch your spirit glisten made my life worth while
In curtains and colors, exposed in beauty and light
it all seemed so perfect
for it was that year you had come back into my life
I'll never forget that day when you rolled down the lane
with loud rock-n-roll music blaring, it took me back to those high school days
Then came August first when you knocked at my door
with a smile and a big hug and precious words that reassured
How was I to know by night fall you'd be gone
at the stroke of mid-night
a story, a song
As I retired for the day
and crawled into bed
in a loud resonating cry the telephone spoke words better left unsaid
It was then in an instant -
summer had gone with a painful breeze
In silence, I sobbed
as angels above began to sing......
