BLUEBELL GIRL

I am transported back

To a distant place and time

When I was only twelve

The world was changing

And I saw it with new eyes

And I recall her sweet face

When I first saw her in the wood

Gathering wild bluebells

Sun shinning on the golden strands

Of her silken hair

As it danced on her shoulders

The beautiful bluebell girl

Moved about the wood

Then she stopped and noticed me

Deep blue eyes smiling at me

In the innocence of childhood

And she captured my heart

Though twenty years have passed

She keeps it still
