Once Upon a Romance

They met at a friends cottage,

Their parents were friends,

The church our favorite umbrella,

Hours of friendship and companionship guested,

She with him and he with her,

The future was there if they ever fell in love,

Dreams of a tender caress,

A moment and infinity could be a reality,

Building a home and a future,

How complex humanity,

The beautiful sounds of nature,

Like a Walt Disney movie, songbirds and rippling brooks,

The sound of the wind could be heard.
