Late Afternoon - 8th Place
Love that came in late afternoon
In his young eyes, a love was born
He knew her charm would fade too soon
And he would bear the mock and scorn
But the young heart was persistent
Her sweet smile tasted like sweet wine
His love for her was consistent
With her, he'd like to forever dine
So, in the glow of the pitching dark
Young and old souls sealed their love
Stars from heaven made a spark
The moon smiled from up above
Against the rains and storms that came
Their love was strong like a pillar of stone
In years that passed, their love was the same
Storms have made their love to hone
8th place
