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
