Cherished

And then the sweetest thing happened
It felt as soft and gentle
As the warm summer breeze
That swirls all around as it touches your skin
It felt as tender and innocent
As the wild rose petals basking in the meadow
That spring forth in first bloom of the season
It opened a feeling deep inside
As deep within my soul
That feeling that only a cherished moment can hold.
