Peace

In Sixty nine, I was eight years old With no idea, how life would unfold That pretty young girl, who caught my eye She had a peace sign, tattooed on her thigh My parents place was called the Coffee Cup She was their waitress, I was just a pup I was intrigued, by her lovely blonde hair With that Peace sign, I kept looking there I couldn't get her picture, out of my head I drew a big peace sign, over my bed My peaceful dreaming, her lovely blue eyes Hoping she'd choose me, above other guys I found the courage, to express my love She was more gentle, than a soft white dove She said "Don't worry it will be okay, you will find your true love, some future day." When I see a peace sign, I have to smile I picture that girl, with her lovely style My very first crush, she awoke my heart A special memory, a pretty good start Kristen Bruni's "The Peace Sign Contest"
