First Love

Returning home again after many years away I find our secret path along the Fundy Bay That happy place where long ago we played Where all our dreams and promises were made Once again I lie down where daisies grow In fields above the banks where salt winds blow Golden memories rush through my hungry soul Returning pieces of my heart lost long ago I close my eyes recalling all the things we did Just the way they were when we were kids And I know without a doubt that you are here As your love for me falls from my eyes in tears We lie like angels looking up at clouds of cream As we watch them take the shape of all our dreams We laugh so hard at all the things we do and say To us life is just a stage a place to laugh and play We find the trail that takes us down to meet the ocean Where we swim in waves of jubilant emotions Then we walk along the shore together hand-in-hand And we write our love forever in the sand ~~~~~ Elaine Cecelia George, of Canada Entry for: Frank Herrera's contest - First Love Awarded First Place
