"CHERIE SUMNER'S, HOLY WATER..."

There's a melodic frenzy
Feeding, in lieu
Of your pristine presence,
Creating a bed of roses
From,
The harmonic parts
Of your symphonic essence,
You're a song that sings to me
And moves in me,
Measure to measure
A theatrical performance
In progress, a
Melodic treasure.....

You're the tune I'm whistling
Whenever
My face has that silly smile
You know the one, that takes
My Love from you
And portrays me like a child
I just can't help myself
I'm experiencing things
Long forgotten
I'm so happy, that I'm beside myself
When I realize,
My fears are misbegotten......

So, although I try to convince myself
That all of this
Is just a dream,
I find myself, with your picture
You're the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen,
I feel like I'm seventeen again,
I'm doing things
Against doctor's orders,
And the really interesting thing is
I've been improving
Without borders...

You've opened up the world to me
In ways,
I can't explain,
I think you know me well
I know you understand
My pain,
But then, there is that One Thing
That only you
Provide,
You give me courage
The will,
To go out there
And try...

Because,
Everything you are
Has taken root
In me,
You, have become
My heart,
The "Holy Water"
On my seeds......
