Carole Duet Poet Blank verse

Blessed

It was a bright summer day
In a green glen far away.
There among the tall yellow wild flowers
You had come my way on a tall brown bay.

You were on a quest and the day was blessed.

I felt my heart skip a beat
and my cheeks were flushed as I blushed.
Suddenly a cool breeze blew and I knew
when you bowed low God had blown me to you.

And as sunbeams shone through trees the day was blessed.

You, my warrior; me, your queen.
There was no one in between.
You found me there in that pastoral scene.
You conquered my heart, my body and soul.

You became my king and the day was blessed.

Now here on this moonlit night
Once again, my heart takes flight.
Beside the campfire in this magical place
You kiss my lips, I touch your handsome face.

On this sacred ground we’ll rest in peace 
And be forever blessed.
