And Then

And then And then the sun came shining through the haze and morning mist Warming up our springtime view with golden sunbeams kissed And then we walked the garden path, such beauty there did grow You whispered that you loved me true, you’d never let me go And then you took me by the hand my heart it skipped a beat When right before the daffodils our two lips came to meet And then we lay atop the grass, your body warm and pure So happy just to spend the day with one I do adore And then you gazed into my eyes, a look to me to send Exactly what you had in mind, I pulled you close and then… Written for the “And then” poetry contest Sponsored by John Lawless
