First Summer Together

Dancing through a honeymoon summer
Working part-time BYU Evening Classes
Walking wherever we went

Taking a dance class together
Never allowing my husband to lead,
Dancing fine with the other changing partners

Sounds Easy Video for pizza and a movie
Ice cream every night (after burnt dinners)
Learning to relax to be content just being together

Married on faith, getting to know each other at last
Daily fights and make-ups, finding realistic expectations
Walking to the laundry mat together, budgeting, working together

Walking everywhere: temple, store, classes, work
Having family and friends over at our little apartment
4 " shag carpet, golden chair, bar table, afghan couch

Learning to live on our own as a couple
Trying to find and define ourselves as a couple
Discussing, praying for, relating as a couple

A time of challenges, learning and togetherness

Softness

Softly falls the snow outside
Warm you are in your blanket
Rock gently in my arms sweet one
Falling, fall to sleep
Softly you close your blinking eyes
Wamr is the fire burning
Rocking you to dreamland tonight
Fall, fall to sleep

The Wind

I'd love to ride the wind all day
To roll push, whistle and play
I'd travel to distances twice untold
Be so brave and all so bold

Among the mountains I'd find a way
To secret passages I would lay
Then blow with the wind to great escapes
Fly up the hill to the open capes

What adventures we would have
The wind and I in exotic lands
Storming upon the ocean brave
So I'll pretend and blow away

Webs

Spiders crawl upon the wall
I don't mind them not at all
They spin their webs and catch their flies
They hide and slink, but don't mind me
Just spin that web but instead of flies
Catch my dreams and let me keep
Some memory of the one I seek

Fly away

Fly away small little bird
Fly away to your home
Fly away to shelter and peace
Please leave my head alone

May

A brand new world is waiting for me
As I climb this old oak tree
There are spiders, beetles and bugs galore
Chipmunk, squirrels and birds no more
They fly away as I come their way
Don't you love this month of May?

Up and Down

Up and down the waves do go
Up and down the roaring
Up and down with forward thrust
Up and down we're rowing
