An Adirondack Chair

by Wes Pinter

Lazing in the back yard
Among the Maple trees
A cool breeze lightly passes by
And gently swirls the leaves

I can smell the Autumn in the air
It’s so crisp and earthy-fresh
As the beaming sun rays warm my skin
Only moments ago gooseflesh

Warm breath exhales, so wispily
But quickly vanishing from view
Hear the geese as they fly overhead
Squawking out their traveling tune

I’m watching squirrels gather up their food
Spending my day without a care
But I’m wishing you were here beside me
In an Adirondack chair

Holding hands, we’ll sip warm cider
I’ll smile at you, and you at me
And I’ll tell you how much I love you!
You’ll say, “That’s the way it’s meant to be!”

For now, it’s only make believe
But I hope my dreams come true
I can’t imagine sharing all my days
With anyone but you!

You’re the one my heart is aching for
And if only life were fair,
You’d be sitting here beside me
In an Adirondack chair!
