Time And Tide

one pair of hands can dig into the enriched surface of the earth



hands dirtied with mineral & gravel can till the fields with distant

hopes to provide another harvest, once again



even still,



there will be days under a summer's sun that will continue to be long

and blistering,



having storms that would whisper they're howling winds with destructive intent,



it has always been known that the power of will has always provided

fuel for the weary heart and the weary soul.



true prosperity is a reward given only to those who has placed the

generations of life ahead of them as the purist fruit that can be plucked from the vine,



and combined,



with a second pair of hands, readied with determination, prepared with

life and experience



lies an unshakable bond



able to withstand the rain that will fall



to ensure that life after death may continue on without hesitation, nor stumble.



with the power of two becoming one



lies an inner-strength



able to outlast any monument made of iron and stone



as true of all things everlasting



just as the will of time & tide itself



in which all life in this world depends on to grow one generation

after the next.
