Dark side of the Moon.

             "Love Grows"

    Shadows dance on a moonlit night,
        phantoms of the mind at play.
    Waves rush in to kiss the beach,
        then quickly run away.

    Stars that light the sky so bright,
        inspire the young to pray.
    They grasp at love within their reach
        and hope their choice will stay.

    Youth may wish with all their might
        for life with love each day;
    but true love grows and cmes to each
        in a very special way.

    Aged with time and held real tight
        till both are old and gray;
    side by side they learn and teach,
        sharing day by day.

How true and lovely this piece is Ken.
Very lyrical and much enjoyed as always.
