Unsurpassed

By the riverbank in summer, eating cake and drinking wine.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Reading poetry that paints a perfect day.
\nThrough the willows, dappled sunlight gives the world a new design,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And some leopard patterned promises of play.
\nThere are sandwiches and pastries, and the wine is keeping cool;
\nWhile you smile with sweet indulgence as I try to play the fool.<\/p>\n
There are tasty bites of sandwich filled with meats I cannot name,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 There is laughter sent to wipe away the clouds,
\nThere are fruits fresh plucked from Eden, as we skirt around the game,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 That lovers play when far away from crowds.
\nWhen we’re satisfied by feeding on the dainties we have brought
\nWe can turn to satisfaction from another form of sport.<\/p>\n
On that afternoon in summer, when a picnic was the thing,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I kissed you and fell deeper into love.
\nA box deep in my pocket held a pretty diamond ring;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And the birds were singing lovesongs high above.
\nWhen you answered me my question with a smile and whispered “yes”
\nI knew this summer picnic was an unsurpassed success.<\/p>\n
