When We First Met

Written by: Kelly Deschler & Mustapha Mohammed You and I have grown up together Side by side, through now and forever The one day I will never forget Is that summer day when we first met. How sweet the soothing songs of June When glory birds would hum their tune A moment in time, and joys and longing breath Was the tender day in summer, when we first met. As the sun warmed down upon the beach We knew a true love was there in reach Something captivating held us, and yet It was only the day when we first met. When feelings sweet clung to our hastening hearts The dreaded thoughts of saddest days departs We tread the earthly fields of lingering dews and wreath On velvet blushing throngs, the summer's day we met. Your steady hand resting gently in mine We watched the stars above shine Amongst an orange sky as the sun set On that bright June day when we first met. Even as my eyes descends into yours and drowns Even as we dance to night's enchanting songs We've kissed 'neath the moonlit climes, my love forget Not the sparkling moment, the summer's day we met. The changing seasons continuously unfold And still our love has not grown old O, how would my heart ever forget The most beautiful day when we first met.

The repetitions of your title phrase are most effective. A delightfully tender piece full of emotive language and vibrant imagery. I loved it! Well done Kelly!! Best wishes, Keith

Thanks so much, Andrea. It really was a pleasure to write together... Mustapha had the idea to repeat that line at the end of each stanza. We took turns writing and it just changed a little each time. So, I guess it was both of our ideas!
