Priest Lake Lovers
Priest Lake Lovers
We slip away onto the lake
Into the night.
Her blonde hair shimmers softly
In the moonlight.
Her hand slides into mine;
I squeeze back gently.
We're making a passage
Not taken lightly.
Our fingers intertwine;
Her tender touch warms my heart.
Life couldn't be more complete;
Nothing will pull us apart.
Together now fifty years;
I follow her light.
Her grey hair shimmers softly
In the moonlight.
