Here's One For Those That Want Feelings

As the voluptuous water flows over Niagara Falls
My love for you pours from my heart
When your dam diverts my love I could bawl
Trapped love that you could receive from the start

"All my hugs and all my kisses
Boy oh boy what you've been missin'
Oh boy, oh boy"

Like the fig leaf that mixes its scent with the rose
My love for you gives forth its scented perfume
As the sudden freeze of fall stops the fig in troes
So does your rejection stop my love's eau de parfum

"All my hugs and all my kisses
Boy oh boy what you've been missin'
Oh boy, oh boy"

(Refrain is not original probably will remember from song of years ago.  I don't remember 
the name of the song or the artist.)

A very good job Sara, that's telling it like it is. Stopping love the source of all things, is daming up life's flow. May the mind be renewed. Sincerely, love, Moses
