Late Afternoon - 8th Place

Love that came in late afternoon In his young eyes, a love was born He knew her charm would fade too soon And he would bear the mock and scorn But the young heart was persistent Her sweet smile tasted like sweet wine His love for her was consistent With her, he'd like to forever dine So, in the glow of the pitching dark Young and old souls sealed their love Stars from heaven made a spark The moon smiled from up above Against the rains and storms that came Their love was strong like a pillar of stone In years that passed, their love was the same Storms have made their love to hone 8th place
