Sun rises, love shines

Today their journey begins

Two paths transform one

One garden starts to seed

Leaving Mother’s Love

Carry two restless souls

Plans made, One Dream

The new voyage onward

Ahead the wider path

Room enough for more

Families alongside travel

Oak arms reaching broad

Lilies     Crocuses

Azaleas    Daffodils

Pansies    Hydrangeas

Foxgloves too

Greens edge to follow

Old friends spring new

Arbors shading climbing vines

Intersecting time with time

Memories of dreams flourish

Ahead some hills, some turns

Mountain steep, valley low

Tenacious weeds, beautiful blooms

Thorns prick or tear, mostly roses

This garden, two souls

Grow to share sun and shade

And Love’s shining presence

Keeps journey new

Keeps garden growing

Keeps two souls together.
