Summer Smiles

Summer Smiles

It was our evening journey home
I found her head upon my shoulder
I felt her heart beat soft and warm
The feeling grew inside to hold her

Like two faces in a memory
Bookends pressed against a dream
Summer smiles to solve the mystery
That has become the part of me

We shared a laugh and then some tears
We gathered dust that gave us life
We slept in corners with our fears
And left the future to decide

Some are victors and some defeated
Summer smiles with eyes of blue
All my dreams have been depleted
When once I dreamt of holding you

Songs play melodies of life
Rainbow portraits of our love
Moons of harvest burning bright
Wings of peace, the mourning dove

Summer smiles and guides the way
Across the miles she shines her star
A heart of nature upon display
She paints the perfect repertoire
