Walking quietly on the beach, The man enjoyed the view Of a sunset gleaming on the ocean And of the skies red hew. The island paradise was lonely For this man alone For he had no one to share this sight No love of his own. As he walked pondering his life A woman caught his eye Standing quietly on a cliff above Enjoying the same sky. She turned to head back down the path When suddenly she slipped And into the ocean she did fall As a scream left her lips. He ran quickly to the edge And quickly dove right in Not worried if there were rocks below But only if she could swim. He found her splashing frantically Way down deep below And swiftly grabbed her around the waste Swimming with her in tow. He reached the shore as people gathered There to lend a hand And were pulled ashore to a safe place Upon the beach of sand. As doctors prepared to take her away His hand, she did grab And put a ring onto his finger A hero, he was tabbed. He went to see her the next day But she had gone away Leaving him wondering who she was Each and every day. Several years would creep by Still he didn’t know Who she was or where she’d gone So did his loneliness grow. Each year he did return there Hoping there was a chance That maybe she would be there To spark a romance. Then one day, on a distant trip To a random place He saw a woman across the street And quickly he gave chase. He reached her and instantly knew She was the one he sought And she recognized the hero whom Was often in her thoughts. She threw her arms around his neck And deeply they did kiss For they had found the love that they Would never again miss. And on his finger still lies the ring That shows her love is true For now, upon her very own finger She does wear a ring too. |
