Call me baby with my socks turned down and my feet taking giant steps walk me into the melt Nestle this shoulder with your big arm's wrap around and around until I fall into the warm Scoop up piles of laughter and throw them until they fall like colored hope onto my frivolity Close my eyes with your sigh heavy with love then trace with a finger the lace of my embrace Call me baby rock me with your words tender this hard grasp until grace binds us |

"Nestle this shoulder with your big arm's wrap around and around until I fall into the warm" This is absolutely wonderful Martie. The flow, the sentiments .. the adorable way you've wrapped the words so lovingly together ... felt like I just had a warm hug myself just reading this sweet piece. Beautiful! Best wishes, /Kit |

Martie, You lace words where I feel words should not be, yet they fit. And in the pattern there is a subtle wit. Like snow in a hard blow But in the quiet of the morning is pure beauty. *L* |
