Softer than an infant’s cheek,
gentler than a summer rain,
more graceful than a woodland creek,
more mystery than curving lane,
your steadfast love entreats and charms,
pursues my heart with winsome ways;
my heart, a rosebud in your arms,
blushes beauty at your gaze.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Wonderful, I love it! Makes me think of the song in “Grease”…
A little romance now and then never hurt anybody… 🙂
You know I love it, keeps my wheels greased!
So beautiful and so beautifully illustrated.
Thanks! We’re just getting to the god stuff now, garden and flower-wise. Things are looking pretty!
Really pretty.
Oops – I meant ‘good stuff’, not ‘God stuff’ – although I’m pretty sure He had a say in its arrangement. 🙂
I wasn’t sure but either way, God or good, seemed to work well in the context.
That was beautiful. WordPress needs a ‘Love This’ button.
🙂 Thank you very much.
Gorgeous 🙂
Thank you!

Thank you! A little summer romance for us to dream about… 🙂
So be-au-ti-ful!
Thanks you! 🙂
Ahhh…
You romantic, you! 😉
Beautiful, on both counts.
Thanks Leanne!

In a weeks that has been all topsy-turvy (physically) for me, poems like this remind me of who and what matters.
I hope every women gets a chance to feel like that.
Very beautiful, Melody, and ironically, reminds me of many of mine I’ve written. I love the lyrical flow! Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you! You too!
