A Tender Heart

Her tender heart set her apart
from anyone I’d ever known, 
and from the start it did impart
a gift of love so gently shown.

When first we met I'll ne'er forget
the way her heart lit up the room;
this sweet brunette whose silhouette 
with curves that caused my heart to zoom.

And when she spoke my feelings woke
and something stirred within my soul;
with tender strokes her heart invokes
such longings which I can’t control.

Beyond compare her heart so fair,
I’m lifted up as dreams now soar,
and so we dare our lives to share
our hearts are one for evermore.
