A VISION TO BE LOVED

As I awoke a soft cool breeze filtered across my cheeks in play
to mark for me quite happily the starting of a brand new day
Then as my eyes began to peek, to take a look around
Life seemed so very pleasant with what my eyes had found
For in the early morning mist a very lovely sight to see
appeared: a sweet angelic form, a fragile lovely mystery
Eventually as our eyes met, such ecstacy not to forget
Especially when she smiled at me

She very truly seemed to be the answer to my dreams
But how could such a one as I ever fit into her schemes
She would surely be my first selection such perfection over all
Still I feel so truly blessed to think that she paid me a call
To share the very quiet moments of an early morning visit
Just had to be my very greatest and my proudest thrill of all
Enough to say that lovely morning left me feeling very fine
Which left the very warmest feeling in this lonely heart of mine

Life goes on, sweet memories linger, pleasant thoughts still cheer my days
still my thoughts will often wander looking back along life's ways
Returning to that lovely morning when such joy was almost mine
Now like special sweet, young beauty clinging tightly to the vine
Having strayed in love's young bower now I feel some loss, some pain
How I wish that sweet young maiden would now visit me again
