POPPIES

POPPIES

POPPIES BLOOMING EVERYWHERE, FIELDS OF THEM I SEE,

BEAUTIFUL TO THE EYE AND MIND, AS THEY'LL EVER BE.

POPPIES, FIELDS OF POPPIES BLOWING IN THE WIND.

MAY I TELL YOU OF THE POPPIES? NOW WHERE SHALL

I BEGIN?

ONE SWEET DAY, NOT LONG AGO, I WENT INTO THE FIELDS

TO SEE THE POPPIES GROW, AND CHECK UPON THE YIELD.

I HEARD A VOICE SOFTLY CALLING," DARLING, COME TO ME."

SURPRISED, I TURNED TO LOOK AND OH, WHAT I DID SEE.

A MAN DRESSED IN PRINCELY ROBES, AROUND HIS NECK

WAS A LARGE, LARGE CHAIN, IT LOOKED TO BE OF SOLID

GOLD.

HE SAID AGAIN," PLEASE, COME TO ME." AND AS I WALKED

TOWARD HIM, HE WALKED QUICKLY TO ME. HE TOOK MY

HAND AND LOOKED SEARCHINGLY AT MY FACE. HE LOOKED

AND LOOKED, I BOWED MY HEAD, I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO

SEE THE BLUSH UPON MY FACE..

HE KNELT BEFORE ME, ON ONE KNEE, AND LOOKED SO

LOVINGLY UP AT ME, SAYING," YOU MUST COME WITH ME,

PLEASE DO, FOR I HAVE MUCH FOR YOU TO SEE."

I WENT WITH HIM. OF COURSE I DID, AND OH, WHAT I DID

SEE...A KINGDOM FILLED WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER, AND

MANY JOYS FOREVER AFTER. HE SAID TO ME," TJ, THIS IS

YOURS, MY LOVE, GIVEN TO YOU FROM ABOVE. AS THE

FIELDS OF POPPIES COME FROM ME, ALL THIS IS YOURS,

AS YOU'LL SEE. IT SHOWS MY LOVE FOR YOU, AND YOU

ALONE, THIS KINGDOM SHALL ALWAYS BE YOUR HOME."

THEN I AWOKE FROM THIS DREAM, AND STANDING BEFORE

ME WAS THIS SCENE:

A HANDSOME MAN IN GOLDEN ROBES, WITH GOLDEN CHAINS

AND MORE.

HE TOOK MY HAND TO RAISE ME, HIS TOUCH WAS SOFT AND

WARM.

HE SAID, " I HAVE COME FOR YOU, YOU ARE MINE FOREVER-

MORE. I FOUND YOU IN THE POPPY FIELDS OF ORANGE, OF

RED AND GREEN. I SHALL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR

HAVING FOUND THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS. THANK YOU,

POPPY FIELDS."
