A Love Song
He sings a carefree love song as he’s resting in the clover.
“Who cares about tomorrow? It may never come.”.
Forgotten tomorrows - too much Jamaican rum.
You don’t crave that I love you. You feel it’s not right.
Then say that you love me, when making love tonight.
A wish on a star may not reach the proper heart
but my love will find its way though we are apart.”
He’s confused by the world and cannot sleep at night.
The little minds of people are what drive his fright.
“If my prayer can cross the sea, you will come back to me”
He sings to his love and the girl his love would be.
Together, they’ll be strong, correcting all the wrongs.
Painting rainbow colors on covers of his songs.
“Look at me as someone, who will stand beside you
support you, cherish you, and of course, I love you,”
Roses need the rain and true love’s just the same.
but a flood of rain will not wash away my shame.
“If we can build a new world, would you be my girl?
I will give you diamonds and necklaces of pearls.”
He did not hear from her for eight years or more.
She sent a perfumed letter. He loved what it implied..
He met her at the airport….
two children by her side.
