THE VARGA GIRL
44
\pVACATION REVERIE
It seems so strange to be here all alone,
And yet I dream that you are by my side .. .
I'm really proud, Sweetheart, the way I've grown
To think of all you do with so much pride ...
You know the way I used to be at first-
All fears because our plans had gone astray,
All tears because a shining bubble burst-
But now I see things clearer ev'ry day;
You're making sure that we will hold this land
And keep the simple things that mean so much ...
Vacation days . . . love letters in the sand ...
And summer nights when hands and hearts can touch .. .
And we can watch a misty moon ride high
And laugh beneath our own star-spangled sky!PAINTING BY VARGA
