Gregory Stanford Poet Rhyme

Before We Go

Let's stay for a little while
Just before we go
I am smiling to your smile
In the evening glow
I can’t get enough of our
Mutual entertainment 
Just a quarter of an hour
Of the sweet derangement 
Share with me, my darling
Just before we go
Beckoned by the sparkling
Through the clouds that grow
Just two drowsy people
Lost in loving fun 
Two minds getting feeble
Are better than one 
My faith is rewarded 
With the face of thee
A message you recorded
Says good night to me..
