~ If selfishness precipitates, love will evaporate ~

Perfect present from heaven above You and I, we fit like a glove Please let's not fight It's just not right So happy that we're so in love Let our relationship grow ~love reciprocates~ Let sensation be sensible ~kindness mitigates~ Let meditation be met ~patience celebrates~ With love that's suitable Cultivating our love to grow We must let communication flow Please hold me dear You have my ear Talk to me I want to know Let our relationship grow ~love reciprocates~ Let sensation be sensible ~kindness mitigates~ Let meditation be met ~patience celebrates~ With love that's beautiful A three-fold cord won't easily fray I thank God for us every day Through thick and thin You're my best friend Blessed that we feel this way Let our relationship grow ~love reciprocates~ Let sensation be sensible ~kindness mitigates~ Let meditation be met ~patience celebrates~ With love that's suitable With love that's beautiful With love immutable

Sweetly sentimental. Have a melody or sound in mind?

I do, in my mind :) Sad thing is I can't read or write music, so I have to find the time to work it out on the piano. Thanks for stopping by with some encouragement, Mark! ~Mark

Yeah, I hear music with this one - I have written and sold many CCM songs and this would make a great adoration tune or even P&W couples song. There are two British musicians who are my fav CCM artists, one named Eric Champion, (his early stuff - check out a song called "Peaceful" - so healing!), and an amazingly gifted guy named Chris Eaton ... I have met them both. I was about to do a project with Roby Duke as producer, when he died the day after Christmas, 2007. Amazing guy. Blessings!
