Francine Roberts Poet Tanka

Life Is Perfect Here

barefoot in the sand

    walking 'neath the bright sunshine

        holding my love's hand


on this warm spring day

  we've waited for, oh, so long

     holiday in May

        is meant for fun in the sun

          so this is where we belong


whispered words of love we share

  are poetry to my ears

     hand in hand we walk along

       ... life is perfect here



                . . . . . . . . . . . . .
