Dena gave me the foreground of this and wanted me to rearrange it with the style I do...I myself, think it's my best one. Hope ya'll like it as well.

The Rocking Chairs

I am in a beautiful dream
And I saw a set of rocking chairs,
On a porch, that was swept clean
And potted plants, sitting on there.
Nothing was in between them
And close as they could be,
Looking out upon the lake
A beautiful sunset to see.
Two elderly people, walk out the door
It making a creaking sound,
He took her lovingly, by the hand
To the chairs to sit down.
She wore a crocheted shawl
She had made through the years,
Many things her fragile hands made
Children, grandchildren, those little dears.
He covered her, ever so gently
With an old worn out quilt,
Wrapping her, from the many memories
To make the evening complete,
She placed a kiss, gently on his cheek
Before he took his seat.
He took her hand into his
As they rocked back and forth,
Staring out upon the sunset
On that expanded porch.
They never once rocked out of rhythm
As they strolled down memory lane,
Smiliing, loving and in content
Looking out, upon their domain.
I imagine them, still sitting there
Two old people still in love,
Rocking away, where time stands still
Waiting to be called home, up above.
I felt so loved, when I woke up
Wondered, how I knew their faces,
The rocking chairs on the porch
And of the beautiful places.
Then I remembered, that wonderful smile
That I loved to see,
It belonged, to the man I love
Who was sent here to me.
I felt so content in knowing
What is to become of me and you,
To grow old together, and be happy
Every day I am with you.
