As Sweet as the Morning Sun

Sitting beneath this maple tree

I bask in the sunlit face of my friend

She with lips as red as blood

Though for me they're of Aphrodite's

Mine, I imagine, are of Ares'

Because with her new hairdo

Part of me says, "she'd say no"

Partly because she makes me read

"Having a Coke with You"

A thousand times without feeling bored

Mostly because I have borrowed a little

From that author because of her

But it partly doesn't matter anymore

Now that I heard her say my name;

As sweet as the morning sun
