The summer day my life began
Melted sunlight in her hair
Not a worry nor a care
Blessed my eyes with colored sight
Knew this moment would blend just right
Summer shadows in the fields
A form of grace moves this place
A taste of honey from the comb
A whisper in the breeze of home
Love me sweet love me smooth
Remove the weathered bruise
From my heart and my mind
Save me from the rugged grind
Heaven sent to bring me home
No more without her shall I roam

My Dear Brother,
This one melted my heart! What a beautiful read this one is... I could almost hear it being whispered in my ear as I was reading!
"Remove the weathered bruise
From my heart and my mind
Save me from the rugged grind
Heaven sent to bring me home
No more without her shall I roam"
Those lines, ohhhhhhhh those lines, reminds me of something that once was said to me, and well, can't lie, looking forward it.
Best of luck in this contest!
and love
