A beautiful premonition

 

 

The cold
winds blow blue ice through the trees

 

 

What wonder
and excitement are conceived on days like these

 

 

The
temperature is below the freezing degree

 

 

What a
beautiful sight this is to see

 

 

The children
bundled up outside, playing freely

 

 

 

 

 

I sit back
on the porch, smoking, in the breeze

 

 

My beautiful
lover lying ever so gently

 

 

With her
head on my shoulder, humming sweetly

 

 

Wrapped in
her mother’s quilt

 

 

That was
built when she was a baby

 

 

 

 

 

Just look at
how far we’ve come since that fateful day

 

 

When I first
lay eyes upon you in the dim gray

 

 

Lights of
that smoky pub on the corner of Weatherly

 

 

You smile so
bright as we drank down our whiskey

 

 

You’re such
a beautiful mind; I had to have you with me

 

 

 

 

 

As years go
by, and we age, and we grey

 

 

I think of
all the joys we’ve had along the way

 

 

Our children
now grown living down by the sea

 

 

The crooked
little house we bought in our twenties

 

 

So ‘cheers’
to a long life of happiness and tears

 

 

To all the
ups, the downs, and the fears

 

 

For all of
the ones that said we would never make it

 

 

Look at us
now, stronger than ever, unshaken
