We Will Tune Them Out Poem by Ray Hansell

How about a quiet dinner
At a table just for two
A soft burning candle
As the flame burns blue

Two glasses filled with wine
A basket full of bread
A light hearted conversation
Where, nothing earth shattering is said

The people all around us
We’ll just tune them out
Just you and I together
Is what tonight is all about

I sit and stare at your beauty
As the candle lights your face
We’re quietly secluded
Far away from life’s hectic pace

I slowly reach out my hand
To gently hold with yours
The silence is suddenly broken
By the slamming of the a door

Once again you and I
Pick up where we left off
I reach out to hold your hand
So tiny and so soft

When the evening is over
We’ll be back home by then
But I just want you to know
That I’m going to love you all I can
