Summer Night Poem by shirley hedrick

we lay on a blanket
on a warm summer night
holding hand
not saying a thing
we wished upon a star
you and me
we laid there all
through the night
I nudged your body
you turned and
looked at me
I pull you close
to my side
and say stay with
me another night
your the one
i wanna love
please, please don't
ever leave me
you smiled and
kissed me
softly on my lips
and said i'm
your to have
and to hold
I'll never
leave you
