High Desert Night
A "Warm-N-Cozy" Greeting
High Desert Night
Blazing sun sets slowly into the western sky
God's cooling breeze chills the air on Mountains high.
Dusk settles comfortably over the desert floor
Blooming sage emits a soft scent too hard to ignore.
A crackling campfire tosses embers in the air
In sparkling blue and auburn and gold: colors rare.
Stars begin to fill the blueness of the sky
Locked in your embrace, we reminisce, you and I.
The moon peeks over the tops of distant hills
You hold me close, and my heart gets such a thrill.
Our love was born amidst the backdrop of the
High Desert Night
As we transcend our years together, my soul takes flight.
We pledged our love forty years ago on a night just like this
We made our vows to each other, and sealed them with a kiss.
The world has changed, but we have not, together now we stand.
And pledge our love for eternity, you and me, hand in hand.
