Night Poem by Donna Saphier

We lay beneath the tree all night
Just me and him and the moonlight
I felt so safe and so in love
Watching the moon and the stars above

The river beside us run very deep
This night forever I will keep
I couldn't wish for anything more
Than this lovely night, with the man I adore

Not one of us did speak a word
The night was the only sound we heard
This peaceful time is our's to keep
While the rest of the world is fast asleep

We stayed all night till dawn broke through
I could feel the damp of the morning dew
The birds were whistling high in the tree's
My hair was blowing in the cool fresh breeze

We got up to leave, we strolled hand in hand
Looking around at the beautiful land
I love the world and the life I've got
And the littltist things, they mean a lot
