There is a time
There is a time for
fresh strawberries
and dandelions on
the lawn and swifts
and swallows darting
back and forth
and a slight case
of sunburn on my cheeks
and a stroll through
the ornamental garden
when everything
is in flower and you
are by my side
and we are still in love :
I can’t wait
for that time
John Lyons
