The first time I saw her
Something in her glowed
The first time I saw her
Something in her glowed
I watched her as she ran
Her golden hair flowed
*
The first time I saw her
Was like a sign from above
My heart missed a beat
Wanting to be loved
*
I loved the way she moved
Full of natural grace
While using all her strength
Pure joy on her face
*
Something about her
Touched me deep inside
Something in her eyes
Made me feel alive
*
Transfixed by her beauty
She was all that I could see
And as the running slowed
Her eyes locked on me
*
She wasn’t there alone
And ran like she could fly
But when the running stopped
She looked into my eyes
*
I reached out to touch her
And moved her golden bang
And In her beautiful eyes
I could see her heart sang
*
Her eyes said
Please choose me
Over the other ones
I will be your
Golden girl
You will be
My one
*
The first day
I saw her
It lifted
My heart’s fog
As I became
Her Human
And she became
My Dog

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...

Hi Gerald - I can so relate to your stories.**I've subscribed to you to see what you have in store for us next. And, although I'm not a Poet and I know it. This story has so much heart woven into it; lovely how you just speak to your readers. I'm just an old story teller; nothing more. I've written a piece on behalf of - Pet Haven Minnesota - Titled: 'Rescue' that has brought so much attention to their dedicated cause; that is a nice feeling. - Vocal Author Community - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author
