Our Walks

Midnight moon and nights lonesome sound
Sparkling stars and clouds surround

Whispering meadow filled with flowers
Whiling away many late night hours

The Kansas plains roll like a stream
Wheat fields wave like the ocean in a dream

The crimson dawn of a fresh spring morning
A storm raging in and tornado warnings

Mountains that stretch to the heavens above
Red birds calling and the wings of a dove

A bale of hay standing near the road
The view from the bluff with wetlands below

Our walks together always made my heart sing
But your smile to me was the most beautiful thing
