Anticipating His Smile

She anticipated his brown eyes shining up When he saw her skimpy beach cover all She knew his heart would beat triple time He would probably stumble on the beach Their relieved embrace would go on forever and a day She would get gritty with sand It would be worth it The announcement was made on Tuesday He was not coming back from Viet Nam She wore the coverup in his honor Anticipating his smile from heaven
