Rustic Lullaby

'Your blue eyes put the golden stars to shame'
You whispered as you took my hand in yours,
And in the night sky, you whispered my name,
A silent tear shattering down your sweet face.

I looked to you, my heart racing in my chest,
'I want to be with you for the rest of my life,'
And when you looked at me, I knew I was blessed -
'It's been a rough road with a curve or two - '

Smiling, I looked into your bright blue eyes,
'But we've made it this far and are still in love,'
And as a tear fell, I looked up to the raven sky,
'And I know that we can make it if we want - '

You sighed as you grasped me tight to you,
'I want you here in my arms every night,'
And as we lay on the grass covered with morning dew,
Your heartbeat whispered me a rustic lullaby.
