Woman On the Beach
WOMAN ON THE BEACH
I saw her as she was just sitting there
I watched the wind gently ruffle her hair
She seemed oblivious of others around
Sitting motionless without a sound
I sat in awe of her stunning looks
The kind you read about in books
Eyes of the deepest shade of blue
A marvelous tan -- a nice bronze hue
My mind was racing -- dare I to speak
The uncertainty I felt left me weak
Finally my confidence came to the top
I began to talk -- I couldn't stop
She looked at me with a rather blank stare
As if to say to me why would you dare
Interrupt my thoughts with a bunch of words
Words that too often I already heard
I stopped talking and hung my head in shame
When she suddenly spoke and asked my name
Well now that woman has become my wife
Together we enjoy a wonderful life
We take the grandkids to the beach where we met
And watch them play in the surf and get wet
While we reminisce of that day now long past
And the love we share that will always last
