Cottage by the Sea

Cottage by the Sea

In a little tiny house

In a cottage by the sea,

You’ll find the roses growing.

The gardener will be me.

A cup of tea and some flowers on the table

I’ll be the grandest lady

I’ll surely bet you that.

With soil on my gardening gloves

And roses on my hat.

A plate of food on top of a table.

When I see you coming

We’ll go in and have some tea.

We’ll sit there in the garden,

And talk– just you and me.

A plate with some food on it and a knife

 

We’ll talk about the weather,

We’ll talk about the sun.

We’ll feel it on our faces,

And when our tea is done,

A plate with strawberries on top of it

We’ll stand and take a walk–

A walk along the sea.

We’ll gather lots of seashells–

The sea, and you, and me.

A plate with strawberries on top of it next to a cup and book.

The day all done, we’ll head back up

With sand between our toes.

The simplest meal when shared in love–

Most glorious repose.

A book with flowers on top of it.

We’ll listen to the waves

As they crash along the bend.

And tomorrow we’ll wake up

And do it all again.

A plate with strawberries on top of it next to a cup and book.
