 Inspired by the lyrics of 'Little Girl' sung by Joe Bonamassa 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweet one, you are going to shine. My love will make you feel fine. The last 18 years will be over and done. You are going to shine sweet one. Lay your head on my shoulder. You’ll outgrow it and be bolder. I promise little girl, good times ahead. On my shoulder, lay your head. You’re no longer a child don’t feel sad. The mistreatment was really bad. Your pain makes me feel so wild. Don’t feel sad you’re no longer a child. A love like mine you’ve never known. Sweet tenderness you’ll be shown. Having you by my side will be a sign. You’ve never known a love like mine. It is my plan to satisfy you. With every thoughtful thing I do. I’m going to be your man. To satisfy you, it is my plan.

There was one more poem to be entered before the contest closed, and I only knew one of his songs, so I jotted this one down from memory, then made a swap quatrain out of it. Pleased with my placing as I didnt expect it to get a place of any kind. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
