Tender sentiments, Romeo! Syllable counts are off just a tad: you are the con-duct-or of life = 8 be-ing eve-ry-thing my love-ly wife = 9 you are the night of my night life = 8 wel-com-ing the cen-ter of life = 8 I give thanks to God eve-ry day = 8 you came in-to my life that day = 8 fill-ing my life with love in May = 8 end-ing my lone-ly nights and Days = 8 The counts on "ev-er-y" take into account that many of us contract it to two syllables in pronunciation. Let the creativity flow from your soul! Dave "The Poet's Place " |
