Sweet Surrender
Soflty the leaves of memory fall
Slowly she stoops to gather them all
Recalling each time she cast a glance
Her thoughts leading her into a trance
She remembers the day it all began
When the sunlight danced of his golden tan
When his rough hands spoke of tumoiled times
When his weathered face broke into a smile
How rapidly the days flew by
Effortlessly passing with a sigh
She remembered the time it all ended
With a single blow to her heart unmended
He left her forever without so much as a word or two
Silently the tears crept down, wetting her face anew
