How marvelous to lie in bed

How marvelous to lie in bed
for long hours on weekend mornings,
have breakfast in bed together
and make love till the mid-day sun.

How marvelous to listen to the hissing
of rain falling on the rooftop,
lying in bed on weekend mornings
and cuddling and kissing for long hours.

How marvelous to go for long walks
in the woods or on the mountain paths
or lying on the beach on weekends
basking in the sun for long hours.

How marvelous that she be herself,
and I be myself, and still we be
as one all life,
living in love together.
