A Date

let's go out on a date
no one but you and me
nothing very fancy
just dinner and a movie

i'll pick you up at seven
in my shinny car
stop to buy you flowers 
treat you like a star

i'll say your very beautiful
but tonight your much much more
prettier than usual
when you came to the door

i'll open all your doors 
and pull back all your chairs
if that's the kind of gentilman
you'll want me to be

in my conversation 
i'll try to use my ears
to pick up the little things
you've learned through out the years

smiles will just be smiles
as we banter back and forth
and little moments of silence
as time takes it's course

when our time is finished
and we stand at your door
please don't leave me kissless
and invite me back once more

You are a true gentleman, John. And I'm sure with your sweet kind ways she will invite you back with a hug and kiss. Keep them thoughts happy in any lucky women that shall fall into your arms. As for me my heart stays by the shore staring at the course of life. And the reason WHY? One can be so special and still have lost love without reason. Hugs from Texas,..p.d.
