My friend Dorianna Ric sent me the lyrics to her poem, "Melody of Love" . Being the procrastinator that I am, it took me two years to attack it. It worked out well cause one of my daughter's friends, Stephanie Matos offered her vocal talents, she was a natural for it. Like Karen Carpenter, she has that slick soft and smooth voice. She really did do justice to the incredible lyrics.

A Melody of Love Lyrics: Dorianna Ric Music performance and production: Evan Paul Kozaris Lines that etch your gentle face The comfort of your warm embrace The outpour of your total devotion Uninhibited honest emotion These cherished things Inspire my heart to sing A melody of love The strength of character you display Providing protection every way Giving support in all I achieve Approval glances on a quiet eve These cherished things Inspire my heart to sing A melody of love The twinkle in your smiling eyes A whisper of awakening sighs Sensual stirring the morning after Teasing kisses and hearty laughter These cherished things Inspire my heart to sing A melody of love Outpour of comfort when things are amiss A heart overflowing with romantic bliss Your quiet resolve when we disagree To end the argument peacefully These cherished things Inspire my heart to sing A melody of love. In a twinkling life for me had changed All the colors rearranged love's profusion, passion's heat I'm overflowing, at last complete. These cherished things inspire my heart to sing a melody of love. With implicit trust I give my all No doubt or fear, there are no walls. Each day my love grows deep and strong Love that endures a lifetime long These cherished things Inspire my heart to sing A melody of love. ? Copyright Dorianna Ric 2008
