Oh mighty willow weeping by the water's edge,
Rooted there quite majestically,
Your smooth reflection that's cast along the shoreline,
Says it all, oh so elegantly.
The atmosphere found there is very inviting.
It conveys the essence of romance,
A sweet spot that sets the stage for happy lovers,
Whispers, "Go ahead and take the chance."
Will you let me come and sit beside your shadow?
There upon that tiny picnic bench.
I will dream there all my thoughts about tomorrow,
Bring my lady there to kiss and clench.
