Analysis of Along The Riverside



It was as if she
Was the reason
For my life
For I saw
No one else.

A dark haired
And a tender bloom
The love of my dreams
Strolling alongside
A local flow.

A short skirt she wore
With a long back slit
Showing a tender
Softness.

An awareness
Of the growth of love
And an insight into the
Future which life
Has confirmed.
