LUNCH IN THE PARK

I’m grateful for my family
I’m grateful for my friends
I’m thankful that I met you
Don’t want this day to end.

A picnic lunch with crackers
A wedge of cheddar cheese
A bottle of our favorite wine
We shared under the trees.

You put your arms around me
A grand gesture of affection 
Then kissed my lips so tenderly
I felt a strong connection.

Walked around the garden pond
Watched the turtles near the bridge
Talked about the simple things 
Found a bench, where we could sit.

Birds were chirping all around 
Nature’s outdoor symphony 
So happy just to sit with you
Enjoy your company.

So grateful for my family
So grateful for my friends
I’m thankful that I met you
Don’t want this day to end.
