"gliding Proud"

Strong wings spread out wide

Sharp claws breaking through the air

With protective eyes..

on the 11th day of x-mass my true love gave to me.. 11 gliding eagles ~~10 warming warmers ~~ 9 ladies souping~~ 8 cherished moments~~ 7 sexy sins~~ 6 sipping cups~~ 5 moments of you and me....4 kissing songs.. 3 old pens.. 2 cradles of love ... and a warm place in his arms and fair tree....
