Mike Gentile Poet Lyric

For Sweet Morrow's Song

Each moonlit walk, each starlight gaze
    On nights that knew such carefree days
Each whispered thrill on breezed romance
                      The passion of another chance

Each salted spray of ocean’s mist
            On mornings blue yet to be kissed
Reminds me yet of nature’s grace
        As time sifts sure like sand through lace

Oh let me sing sweet morrow’s song
        While palm trees still wave to the sun
While rivers that know the secrets of life
      Still course through the veins of my heart

For purpose must it always be
                    And must it be of such design
And is it not enough to breathe
                           To drink of love’s rich wine

Oh, let me know sweet morrow’s song
                        Again and again and again
Till every last note of the chorus is sung
                    And no line is yet rendered still
