The sky was lit in wondrous lights
Thriller rides filled with delighted children
Aromas of kettle corn and turkey legs
Family, friends, and couples all making memories
Local bands took turns on the stage
Quick as a fox, he stole a day of her life

Lost counts of the times they went ‘round and ‘round
The sound of her laugh encouraged him
Though there as the best of friends
Something else was clearly in the air,
Other than cooked meat that is
In between smiles, he stole glances at her

Fireworks cracked, sending thunder-like sounds into the distance
Pins were knocked over and stuffed animals were won
They finished the funnel cake in no time
And bumped their cars, laughing as they got stuck
Stars shined as they paused at the top of the Ferris wheel
That was when he stole a kiss
