 Young Love

 

You weren’t so handsome, but handsome enough,

And tall and thin not rugged, strong or tough.

Oh, but you were so fun to be around.

Together, we adventured off the cuff.

 

Snowballs and field became a battle ground.

We swung on some strong grapevines that we found.

Or hiked along a creek one summer day.

And danced along to seventies rock sound.

 

We’d take long walks in rain when skies were gray,

Or climb a fire tower by the way.

And though, we worked and studied like we planned,

We often found excuses to just play.

 

One summer, I was off to distant land.

We didn’t know our ending was at hand.

What lay ahead, we didn’t understand.

What lay ahead, we didn’t understand.
