Last Essence

A whisper slips softly by
From the lips of sweet beauty
She begins to cry
Embrace the magic of this moment
And dry her tears
For the whisper was of love
To conquer her fears
An essence that has come
From heaven above
Filling your life with unmistakable joy
Something you haven"t felt sinse you were a boy
Now a man hardened from life
Embrace the essence
And make her your wife

Nice write Joseph. Very sincere. If I might make a few suggestions though, they would be... An essence that has COME and... HAVEN'T felt SINCE you WERE a boy. Still a good read though. Thanks for sharing. Rockman
