In My Mind’s Eye

Your head in my lap on a blanket outside

I close my eyes and tilt my head to the sky

A hint of freshly cut grass in the air

A kiss of sun on spots of skin left bare

Our little homemade family

A picturesque house near the sea

With a fence of white picket

And the comfort that comes with it

Blond baby girl wiggling her toes in the sandbox

Little boy building with big colored blocks

Fluffy golden puppies waiting for walks

We could’ve been so easy and free

If you’d have just chosen me
