A Walk In Love

One late summer’s day,
Through the marshes of Cape May,
Where the old lighthouse stands,
My love and I walked hand in hand.

The air was filled with buzzing bees,
And a warm pine scented ocean breeze.
The lighthouse seemed to follow along,
And the birds sang us a pretty song.

In a sea of reeds we two strolled,
Remembering times of old.
When not too far had we gone,
We stopped at an arbor we came upon.

Standing under a blanket of vines,
I in her arms and she in mine,
Staring into each other’s eyes,
We knew we had found paradise.

For a moment time stood still in bliss,
And we two lovers stole a kiss...
Twas a walk in love one late summer’s day,
That shines as bright as the light of Cape May.
