Let Me Pretend

Let me pretend our life is normal

there's no illness here

as I lay beneath the covers

 

With you

My dear

 

Under the covers

on a chilled mornings day

Outside beyond our window

children are at play

Freshly brewed coffee

drifting in on the air

 

As we lay

beneath the covers

without a care

 

Spring flowers bloom

their perfume

dancing in on the breeze

Hear the Kookaburras laughing

outside in the trees

Dogs bark in the distance

a few streets away

 

But under the covers

nice and cosy

is where we shall stay

 

Till it's time to get started

on our day ahead

But for now I'm quite content

under the covers with you

in our bed
