Dawn of New Day

DAWN OF NEW DAY
Sweet sixteen Scarlett so madly loved me, my mistake I refused to marry her. As my wife her life could write grand story in dismal strife-torn years of civil war. She could act, flirt with rogue Rhett for money needed for her farm when I was away. He’d go to jail for charge of felony, my love would save her from being his prey. After the war to Tara I’d take her, reconstruct our shattered lives once again. In happy new home our children we’d rear, Forget the long tormenting years of pain. The time of turmoil would go with the wind, in dawn of tomorrow new day we’d find.

It was brilliant of you to pick Ashley to write about as Scarlett had way too many colors to portray Subimal. I was going to pick her to write about but never had the time to. You did well! Congratulations on your win! : )
