Picnic With My Sweet

We wake up to a lovely day
with lots of sun to lead the way.

Down to a babbling brook we go
while tree branches swing to and fro.

And we have found the perfect spot
to be alone and kiss a lot!

A checkered napkin covers up
this feast on which we soon will sup.

All sorts of good food did I bring
to feed my lover and my king!

There's fried chicken,fresh fruit and cheese
with lots of goodies made to please.

We have a bottle of sweet wine
to sip on as we sit and dine.

The birds are singing in the sky;
they're serenading he and I.

There's so much beauty in this place
and love light shining on his face.

A perfect day starts to wind down
as we pack up and head to town.

The memory of this day will last
long after summertime has passed.
