Panic of 1933

The break up of a young couple

The Panic of 1933
By James A Smith

Sunshine or rain there is beauty in the vine of these flowers
basking in the sun baking all day long in the hot august afternoon
Long past the start of summer last June
Me and my Gal walk the garden in plain silent times

We think alike and read each others minds
Its just something we do and we do it all the time
She loves the beautiful thoughts of her I have 
Deep in side my brain releasing the thoughts

that make her fall deeper and deeper in love with me
Wanting to make a family tree
We could connect on this next week you see
I have much love for her stored up inside of me

Sunshine and flower beds are where we walk together
Talk about of future together
And remember the olden days good old days 
of your youth when we were in high school

and had our whole life ahead of us
Life had side track our plans
We jumped on separate trains
headed in different directions

and we never met or stopped to get off
we never met our connection
Our love was not in the resurrection
Or in the light we were not meant for each other

even those we thought 
we were to be a couple for life
We left the flower garden 
the flower bed and the sunshine behind

We never walk the fields again 
Odds were against us to succeed
Voices to the heart 
Do reveal two hearts were broken 
We felt the panic of 1933.
