You shoot a glance

That warms my heart

My toes tingle

And my heart dances

I twirl in my daisy printed sun dress

Underneath the old oak tree

The warmth of the summer sun warms me

You sit atop your impatient stallion

Calming him gently as you rub his side

I steal a glance as I turn

And spy you smiling

At me

I wonder if you know at that moment

That you caught my heart

You make me not want to stop turning

I fear when I’m done you’ll be gone

I then have no choice

The heat of the sun has left me thirsty

Nearly collapsing

To my surprise

I’m laying safely in your arms

Hoping that it will last forever

With my eyes closed

I feel your lips planted upon mine

I feel myself melting slowly away

Suddenly

The sound of my father’s tractor is upon us

I quickly find new life in my step

You tell me

This isn’t the end

I smile with a gentle giggle

As I watch you gallop away

My father reaches out his hand

And I hop up and sit proudly next to him

We’re headed home for Sunday supper

Tonight I will dream of falling again safely into your arms
