In Your Arms

I lay my head on your shoulder
Think back when we were less older
Then we boldly flaunted our youth
Carefree living on love and truth
In a frenzy the years flew by
Our bond grew stronger neath a sigh
We laid those solid foundations
For well earned adulations

The down side of finding "The One" is how the time really does fly! I can relate to this very well rhymed and articulated piece. Well done Line!....pat
