Combing my fingers through your hair Shivering lightly in cool night air I snuggled close to your body Growing sleepy, slow, and groggy Hearing cricket’s chirping of night Blinking of stars in the black sky Prim and pose of red rose gardens Tickling of grass on my sole ends Feeling the roughness of the sheet Making life’s problems obsolete I closed my eyes and breathed in deep I knew our love would grow in leaps Lucky to have you in my life Our love will grow as days go by If the time comes when life gets hard Remember these nights in my backyard
