Poem
There were poppies in the meadow and a haze of cornflower blue But I only saw the laughter in your eyes In that summer land of sunshine when my love for you was new And we danced beneath the rainbows in the skies There were skylarks singing love songs and a frog filled shady pool When the sun shone like a spotlight on a lady and her fool There were sunlight dappled shadows under trees of apple green As we sat and watched the river run and play Quite invisible to others as we waltzed where gods had been And we kissed the summer afternoon away There were mallards busy dabbling and lilies standing tall As I held you ever closer and I promised you it all There were breezes bouncing wheat ears in a field of golden sun And your fingers intertwined between my own We walked slowly by the hedgerows where the rabbits watched the fun And a pheasant used a gatepost for his throne Though I hardly saw the beauty that was nature all around When we fell into each other on a soft green patch of ground When the sky turned peach and amber and the sun was burning gold We were unaware of all the rest of life And the day once young and tender grew so dignified and old I was brave enough to ask you "be my wife" Now there'll never be another day as beautiful to me But each day we spend together fills my heart with poetry
