On a Blanket In May

Rippling down the mountainside
flows a clean blue Alpine stream
Bubbling o'er the valley floor
like an image from a dream

Horses grazing in the grass
song birds singing from the trees
Butterflies flitting about
floating on a summer breeze

Wisps of clouds drifting along
a bright sun hangs in the sky
casting a shade from the trees
to where two young lovers lie

Hand in hand they make their plan
a future so bright and gay
All the world is in their arms
this heavenly day in May

Perhaps in all the moments
that's ever been known to man
T'was never one more serene
than this painting from God's hand
