Okay - here goes a 2nd poem (Just typed it all and have to re-do it cause it went nowhere!

) I am toiling with sending some on to a friend who is a publisher but that is a way scary step.
Please give me honest, constuctive criticism.
I wrote this with inspiration from my Grandparents who lived next door to each other from age 4 & 5. They never were apart and she always said he was her Knight in Shining armor...her prince. He saved her when she was trapped in a dysfunctional home and I will forever love their romance and hold it up to my life as a picture of what I would want for my own. If only we could all be so lucky.
Carry Me
Carry me to the time when I will wear your ring
Where fireflies dance and the crickets sing
Carry me far from the home in which I reside
Where shadows haunt and tempers hide
Carry me in your strong arms of love
Where safety surrounds and passion cries from above
Carry me to a glorious, wonderous place
Mystical, magical yet so full of grace
Carry me to a far reached, distant shore
Where "I love you" won't fall from my lips upon the barren floor
Carry me with you from dream to sweet dream
Carry me with you to sights yet to behold and unseen
Carry me through the night and throughout the next day
Carry me quite simply
Because I need to be
Carried away.
