There is no greater joy than love's graceful compassion and forgiveness.

Lay me down in sweet green meadows, dance with me in the leafy glen crown my hair with circlets of roses help me remember when... Dance with me in soft moonlight, Singing your magic song, Fill me with love's innocence lost Shelter me in your warriors heart From the demons who haunt my mind. Gift me with bright yellow daisies, a warm hearth and your loving face Your body next to mine at night... simple things, that hold such grace. I'll sing love's song, crowned with stars and let you see my heart, Whisper the pain and shame away til only the two of us remain. No shadows to haunt or stain us where only truth exists and love deepens in the warm sunlight and our ancient troth renewed. Lay me down in sweet meadow grasses Let me feel your love Hold me in your warriors soul Until the end of time And when my life is over Carry me to the sea, Watch me dance the billowing waves Knowing I'll wait beyond times gates For you to come to me.

Who is this lucky man. Or if you have not found him yet, where can I get the
warrior soul that seems to be a requirement.
The Warrior's soul shop I guess.
Candy, this is so sexy.
