Days of wine and song

Together touching the sky

Stretch before you now.

 

Resurrected Easter Lily

What was thrown away

Has burst forth with brilliant life

To give joy and hope.

Your hands speak of love

As you hold your daughter close

After the wedding.

Blueberry Sunday

Soothes memories long ago

When pain took control.

While upheaval swirls

You shared all your smiles and warmth,

Gifts of grace and love.
