Somewhere and In My Heart

Somewhere on a beach, there are lovers
umbrellas shade their secret kiss
                            the ocean serenades  
and as the salted mist approves
                     their passion never fades
 
Somewhere, there’s a table, set for two
with violins and candled glow 
                              a question to invite  
a ring in pocket hopes to jewel
                   a bride dressed all in white

Somewhere, on a golden wedding cake
a couple speaks to memory
                         still with hand in hand
and guided by a love so true
                          all perils to withstand

Somewhere, there’s a love forever yours
it lives alone as you don’t know
                              we are so far apart
If I could only tell you now
                        that it lives in my heart

For many the course of true love and happiness comes easy but for many it sometimes takes a little longer, one thing though we should never give up on love. Hope your Sunday is going well Mike. Tom
