In Rhymes Sublime
In rhymes sublime I dream that I’m in summer time,
recalling green and the lake pristine where we would go.
To find the lake, a trail we’d take and then we’d climb!
With no worry, in no hurry – we took it slow.
Chipmunks we’d see; we’d laugh with glee as they would flee.
How they would scurry – cute and furry – from our sight.
Wildflowers too were plucked by you – to give to me.
A queen was I and you - my guy - a shining knight!
Just us, the trees and feeling ease in summer’s breeze!
One sweet July with clear blue sky I think of still.
Oh, what you’d planned! Ring on my hand. You asked me please
to be your wife for all our life. I said, “I WILL!”
Wind was blowing; I was glowing with the knowing
that we two would say “I do” at summer’s end.
Our lake we found (no one around!) With joy showing,
you gave a grin; I jumped in with my true-love friend!
