A Love Song
He sings a carefree love song as he’s resting in the clover.
“Who cares about tomorrow, for it may never come.”.
Forgotten tomorrows are like Jamaican rum.
You won’t crave how I love you. You’ll say 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 all that gives him fright.
“If my prayer can cross the sea, you’ll come back to me”
He sings to his love, to 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 can 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, until six years later.
She sent a letter asking him to come to her.
They met at the airport….her two children in hand.
