Soaking You In

Out back on that old tire swing drifting to and fro in the springtime dusk reliving childhood memories she swings and smiles free as the red breasted robin singing love songs as she soars from limb to limb in the that mighty oak tree her hair blows silently side to side dangling ever so softly off her olive basted silky smooth shoulders her caramel coloured eyes twinkle in the fading sunlight as the fireflies start to sparkle in the auburn sky I sit quietly drinking my freshly made ice cold lemonade soaking up all her splendor knowing I'll be holding her tight tonight

My friend, your poem brought back one fantastic memory for me--and that from over 40 years ago! A replay of an afternoon I had at 21 years old and madly in love! Right down to the glass of lemonade. A7 and adding this to my fav poem list! Thanks.
