The Field of Wildflowers |

I tripped and fell in a field of wild flowers You laughed and teased, calling my name A boy and a girl playing freely for hours Would we one day return here again? A simple ring of dandelion stems I gave to you with this innocent vow "To the best of hearts and the best of friends Comes lasting love, starting from now" Years past, so fast we grew into towers So straight and tall and rigid it seems And days of play in fields of wild flowers Disappeared and replaced with material things Yet that vow came back in a dream to haunt me One night as I slept curled up next to you I awoke and prayed that you would still want me To take you back to where dreams come true In the car we went for a few short hours It took all my strength to hide the surprise To the field to play in the field of wild flowers Our vow was renewed with tears in our eyes |
