Every weekend he’d take her on the lake
He’d have lemonade and sweet cakes
Calm waters and blue skies
Staring into her brown eyes
Her parasol kept the sun out her face
As he rowed with all he had
Halfway across he’d rest
Move next to her and steal a kiss
They’d enjoy their picnic on the water
While looking out for fish
Each time one jumped to catch a flying insect
She’d giggle until she snorted
The more she laughed the deeper in love he fell
He held her to him as they watched the sun set
It would soon be time to row again
Head for the bank and leave their solitude
Until next weekend
