A Day in May

One day in May
she showed up at the French Café
just like she was a customer every day.
I remember taking a drink of my wine,
when I first lifted it to my lips
she was no where to be seen
but just as soon as I placed my glass down
she was sitting across from me like a dream;
my eyes took in her natural beauty
like it was their duty
and my mouth full of fresh wine
wasted no time telling her she was fine,
she was amused that I was so taken with her beauty
and when I asked her to dance with me
she said yes, but it sounded like wee, wee,
I was pleased that she
would be pleased to dance with me;
we danced, we drank. we laughed and talked
away this happy day inside this little French Café,
together we seemed to be having so much fun
so I felt a sadness when she said she had to run,
before she left I asked if I would see her again,
she said someday, some fine day my friend,
with that she ran from the Café
and I never saw her again.

Wonderfully romantic. Sometimes, an afternoon fling leaves warmer memories than a 30 year marriage.

One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many.

What a memory to look back on. Maybe she's out there somewhere thinking of you too.
