Before Me, There A Beautiful Lady Stood


Bright as sky - promises of glowing rainbows
She no longer scrawny knees and sharp elbows
Before me, there a beautiful lady stood
Asking if I wanted to dance- yes I would!

Four years back, teenage lass had asked me my name
Now that pretty, grown woman asked me my game
Dancing that night I saw how well she had grown
She became the first of true loves I have known.

Such blessing was not meant for the likes of me
I saw what was right, so I soon set her free
Because of my wilder ways, fast roving eyes
I left her, in purity in the skies!

Bright as sky - promises of glowing rainbows.
She no longer scrawny knees and sharp elbows.

WRITTEN ABOUT A REAL LADY. ONE I SOMEHOW SAW FIT TO DO NO MORE THAN KISS AND LET GO..
Back in the day, before I let my impulses lead me into grabbing as much as I could get...
Before the hippie gals and free love generation, came in dancing, singing and girls grabbing the guys for a change... lol--Tyr
