Millions of Reasons Sitting here thinking this warm night in June; dreaming of moments spent talking with you. Fitting my thoughts ‘round the beams of the moon, streaming from heaven through night’s navy blue. Knitting together the notes of a tune; scheming forever your heart to ensue. Billions of stars that are shining above; millions of reasons to fall in your love. June 18, 2019

Thank you, Sandra, I appreciate your kind words. This is actually not a proper Ottava Rima which should be written in iambic pentameter. But since the sponsor's example wasn't either, I took the liberty of using a totally different meter. If it's judged on form it will get an N/A but I still like it and those that have read it have enjoyed it. And that's the reason we write! All my best. John
