Like two small children
Do you remember that magical afternoon?
When the sun smiled at us
And like two fascinated children
We smiled back
Then, like two playful children
We ran together
Chasing a butterfly
On the hills of Windermere
Like two happy children
We wandered together
As we enjoyed our fruity ice-cream
Along the lake’s shoreline
Like two innocent children
We played together
Arranging cups and saucers for our picnic
In our secret garden
Like two mischievous children
We giggled together
As we collected the scattered petals of roses
That the newly-wed couple threw away
And like two joyful children
We laid ourselves down on the grass
Embracing heaven…
And earth
As we rolled over
Do you remember?
