Captivated

Could there have been another time I held you in my arms, Succumbing to your loveliness And captured by your charms? It seems there could not be a world In which there was no you. You're the freshness of the morning, The sweetness of the dew. It took but one brief glimpse to know You were the one I sought. Days lived before my love for you Are counted now as naught. Though circustance may change us both I promise you today The all consuming love I feel Shall never go away. Without a thought of self I am Amazingly beguiled And evermore enamored by My precious newborn child. Won 2nd place
