Lemonade Kiss

What could be better than this?

Sitting on the bench

with a lemonade kiss!

Sailboats still

at a distance

with

waves caressing 

the soft white sand

and

swaying 

as if they were dancing

the way we do with the band.

I feel so blessed 

I feel in bliss

with you by my side,

and my lemonade kiss!
