nothing can hurt us
as long as we are holding onto
each other
not man
not circumstance
not distance
or time
for in each other's love
we are the finest of fine
through your eyes
I can see there is a place
at last for me
I can not be timid
I must roar
I must fight
for this love
worth fighting for
I hold so strongly now
to this idea of us
I breathe the wish of your own
soul's breath
and mature in your trust
I find I long for your heart to
be so sweetly sewn to my own
with just the right amount of
proper stitchings in life to be
shown
added to by the backings and
patchings of extended family
and children yet conceived
romance and holidays
with time to reflect
I see us old and still so much
in love
though wrinkled and aged with
mutual respect
a fully storied quilt
for all to crawl under and read
one beautiful block of life
collaborated in bloom
through the eyes of you and me
giving so much
as once again my darling
we as one resume.....
