Analysis of A path of kisses
Mariska de Wet 2002 (Pretoria)
They fell along a path of kisses
While rosebuds pursed with rosy lips
And Spring composed it's many compositions
For lovers yet to slip.
They signed each name upon the bark,
While daisies waved to the warming sun,
And encased their love within a heart
For their eternity had begun.
