Notes About The Poem

                   

Premiere Contest WinnerA Southern Rose

The sound of a piano drew me to you, as your captivating smile lit up the room. I fell in love; there was nothing I could do but breathe you in — like an exotic perfume. A southern rose, you were the belle of the ball, a budding bloom — the most beautiful of all. So, through an unpredictable whim of fate, my love for music led me to my soulmate. Now years have danced across our quiet floor, while every step’s a promise we renew. I do not fear what time may hold in store as long as every step is shared with you. We found our cadence in a simple key, a quiet chord that set our spirits free. The melody we found will never fade, a timeless symphony that heaven made.
