Underneath velvet skies
we look up to the bright stars
sparkling as clear as diamonds

We gaze up at them
as we lie on the grass
on our soft blanket

The night is very peaceful as we
listen quietly to the music from the radio
playing very softly

Occasionally we hear the
fish jumping in the water
or a cricket by the river

Then our song comes on the radio
with the words flowing through
and we again whisper in each other's ear

"Do you know that I love you
as much as the whole world
and back around again"

We get up and sway to the music
slowly dancing under the stars
in the moonlit night by the beautiful river

Running after dreams ~
I made it through another lonely night
Thinking of you
I know I should be strong
I just can’t say ~goodbye~(LR)

What a romantic painting!  I have done this with a 4 year old but the feelings were sure different, and we just counted stars LOL, great job on this.

I love the romance of this... but even more, I love the love in it. *S* For as romantic as this is, it also reminded me of times with my little nephew... whom I love up to the stars and back again. *S* Beautiful!

Who wouldn't want to be in this setting?
I know I would. You describe it so
beautifully, Ethel.

When you think you have heard it all,
listen more closely.
