It was a summer's day when we first met <br />the memories are clear - I won't forget - <br />traffic noise, new faces, beer and sweat - <br />that summer day when you and I first met. <br /> <br />The kilt you wore - it played its part that summer day <br />your naked knee on mine, I felt your strength and knew <br />though we sat down as strangers, my compass was reset <br />I could not bear to say goodbye to you. <br /> <br />That summer day we met, a year ago <br />in love we lay, in love we have remained <br />together we are free and both do know <br />in loving touch our love will be maintained. <br /> <br />We met amid banality and yet <br />we kissed and changed our courses - compasses reset <br />the memories are clear – I never will forget <br />that summer’s day when you and I first met.<br /><br />Janice Windle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-d-nall-a-summer-day-to-d-nall-on-his-birthday/
