Having a Fling--By Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson--Canary Islands

Having a Fling
(Constanza)

At the end of day when stars shine
Up in the sky with moon aglow
Love inside me truly does flow

I thank the Lord for all what’s mine
Here on this earth where I abide
Knowing He’s the eternal guide

For loving family divine
With hearts showing warmth never cold
For both the youngest and the old

That is so happy to entwine
To face if need be mountain climb
Altogether at any time

On occasions to make life fine
We laugh and party, dance and sing
Letting hair down to have a fling!
