Chiriquí Chatter

Come and lie down beside me.
Rest your head upon my chest.
Hold my hand gently,
And my dear, I’ll confess.

I have seen better days than these.
I was something in my youth.
I used to slay dragons with ease,
Before I became so long in the tooth.

You’ve missed my best of times.
I don’t have much more to give.
But you can have all my love in rhyme,
Even longer than I shall live.

Let’s not fret about the past.
For while I hold you in my arms,
Life must have saved its best for last,
Because I was smitten by your charms.

Don’t worry about the future.
Just live each day, that day.
And know that my love will nurture,
You more in every way.

Come and lie down beside me.
Rest your head upon my chest.
Let me tell you very simply,
When I found you, I was blessed.
