This Picture of Our Life

Trees bristled but the breeze was warm Sun hazed over, perfect summer charm We reminisced, saw back beyond the day So many summers loved each in their way Barn owl glided over the fields Silence of beauty, this masterpiece lives Capture the memory of the surrounding evening glow Hear the chorus of nature, birdsong as we go Touch hands instinctively become a hold Feel the years of our seasons unfold in each step of this evening stroll Connect to shared memories that are ours alone Laughter in darkness, kiss in the cold. The hilled and wooded horizon set distant but still here with us now Not another soul to be seen as we look all around The soft sun glows and highlights the beauty of your smile Your eyes dance in the soft light remembering good times that we've had This landscape of serenity, this picture of our life I'll never let go of this memory shared with love for you my wife.
