A Shady Tree

I know its the summer time because of how naturally Your beauty compliments the caress of a summer breeze As I watch the world from beneath a shady tree I take in the delightful comfort of everything I see But in the same breath I am holding up my hands Lord will you please give me back the things I no longer have They are even more a part of me now that they are gone As the sun falls below where the horizon is still holding on Somewhere between the falling light and a star lit night Is a dream that last forever and will never say goodbye As the wind gently blows through the brush and shakes the leaves It begins to hum a melody that I want to sing At that very moment I smile for all the joy I have Its so uplifting for me to see melancholy dance Soon the morning sun will rise and capture my eyes As I watch the hand of God paint a brand new sky With every stroke of color I swallow all my pride And I find a new place to dream of endless times If I should ever get to the place I left my broken heart Only then will I believe this brand new day will start Again Im reminded of why my heart beats so restlessly Only the speed of thought and my soul beneath this tree
