Perfect Days
It’s five o’clock, I sit and wait
behind the wheel, please don’t be late,
I see your face among the crowd,
tall and handsome, strong and proud.
Relentless heat throughout the day
a time to love, a time to play,
relaxations just in reach,
a picnic laid out on the beach.
A blanket spread upon the ground
we say so much, without a sound,
the meal is placed for your delight,
you smile at such a sensual sight.
On finest foods tonight we’ll dine
and drink the sweetest sparkling wine,
I sit and watch you eat your fill,
remembering why I love you still.
Crabs return to watery graves,
beneath our feet the lapping waves,
a gentle stroll upon the sand,
I pull you close and take your hand.
A cooling breeze to stir the air
the dying sun streaked through your hair,
we stand engulfed in sunset rays
and kiss the end of perfect days.
