Thoughts of Him

As she sits drinking her coffee on
                                 the swing soaking in the summer day.
                                 A smile appears on her face when
                                 the thoughts of that summer day passed.
                                
                                 *remembering, when she met the stranger
                                 at the park years passed.
                                 They laughed, talked, and walked together
                                 hand in hand.
                                 He craved their names on the big oak tree.
                                 It would be there for everyone to see.

                                 Suddenly, she hears a crash as her coffee
                                 cup falls and shatters on the patio below.
                                 It jolts her  back to reality once more.
                                 Sadness on her face now the smile gone.
 
                                 *Thoughts of him the stranger comes back
                                 to her mind tears falling as she remembers
                                 him saying to her-------We can never be, For
                                 I am a Married man------.
