Only the fiercest eyes of love would kneel in prayer for finding thee Only the softest fleeting dove could hold the praise I would give so free For weakness in body and spirit came when I first saw your face Twas an image of true worth and spirit and I gasped, dreaming of your embrace To all the fates in all the lands I bow in honor, hopefully to gaze upon the sweetest hands for surely heaven has smiled on me Your smile, and the touch of caress drew my eyes to you seemingly so I knelt down and prayed in earnest that my heart, one day you would know.

Wow, am I glad this one flew back to the top...just so I could add, "me too!...I like this...me too!" Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
