Apple in the rye

[Mendelson Shape]

apple of the eye,
love of the heart,
an embodied life,
began right from the start

they grow up so fast,
before your eyes,
and before you know it,
they're gone, yourself beside

keep them safe,
keep them sane,
let them play,
in the summer rain

a cycle has no beginning
or an end,
but life without a child,
is no life worthy to spend.

[Ai]

Put capitals at the beginning of each line..:p..

Apart from that lovely rhyming that sets up a great flow from the very beginning and although most people choose a sappy lovely dovely theme to set these topics to you've set up a nice happy one very successfully..

Keep up the great work.
