Before Me, There a Beautiful Lady Stood

Before Me, There A Beautiful Lady Stood Bright as sky - promises of glowing rainbows She no longer scrawny knees and sharp elbows Before me, there a beautiful lady stood Asking if I wanted to dance- yes I would! Four years back, teenage lass had asked me my name Now that pretty, grown woman asked me my game Dancing that night I saw how well she had grown She became the first of true loves I have known. Such blessing was not meant for the likes of me I saw what was right, so I soon set her free Because of my wilder ways, fast roving eyes I left her, in purity in the skies! Bright as sky - promises of glowing rainbows. She no longer scrawny knees and sharp elbows. Robert J.
