Poetry - A Garden of Love



A Garden of Love

It began with that special spark –
Some sixty years ago.

Marie and David began to grow –
A garden made from love and trust.

They planted ideas that truly matter –
And surrounded them in rainbows of light.

They’ve enjoyed many beautiful adventures –
And weathered storms of doubts and uncertainty.

They’ve raised four wonderful kids –
Who’ve reflected well upon their values.

The years have come and gone –
Like leaves whispering into the wind.

Both sing with voices to one song –
With many years of happiness between them.

A gift of love so warm, serene and kind –
Comes from a friendship matured by the years.

There is a blessing knowing these two –
And a garden nurtured and filled with love.


Written for Mom and Dad – For their 60th Wedding Anniversary
