      ~~~~~~~~~~~
  Challenge your heart
  to love.
  Let your emotions
  free to soar.
  Take a chance
  on Cupid's
  perfect aim,
  and unlock
  hope's golden door.
  For somewhere
  there's a someone,
  with a yearning
  just like you.
  To share their
  dreams and future,
  Not just as one -
  but two.
  So release your
  hidden passion.
  Feel the rapture
  of your soul.
  Romance is
  all around you -
  If true devotion
  is your goal.
     ~~~~~~

Chris,
A good formula to live by indeed. Excellent write and a good poem for the book.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
