In Togetherness... As we Move On!

The new leaf has again blossomed
 As Spring has spread its arms
Over the bosom of life!

Many a seasons have passed by
Under the shaded caress of your warmth
While I walked along the untrodden paths
Holding your hand as you followed your dreams…

Tiny little angels moved and paced slowly
Along the same path, gazing, admiring – and shying…
Whilst a generation grew as we watched.

Your charming countenance had carried me away
Plunging me into deeper emotional bondage
As I grew from strength to strength and you looked in admiration!

Whenever fear shrunk us to stress
We held the blade of life so high
And through God, forwarded the chariot
Though the wind of hope.

Many waters, many tides, many miles and many voices
Have come along – calling and floating with the wind;
Leaving the dust behind,
As I behold life under your protective arm!

Sipping into this nectar of love,
We’ve opened doors for every gentle soul;
Our garden blossoms into tranquillity
As we see the angels and flowers charm to grace
In beauty, from moment to moment – with age!

Sharing a cup of tea as we see the dawn break and
Remember the years that have crossed by…
The motions of a fulfilling heart
Feel at ease as we leave reasons behind!

We watch o’er them and thank for the blessings bestowed –
How great is God, how lovely they, like a gem uncut
Into God’s vision we pray to keep us composed
In His creative mind, the divinity surrounding us

As we move on…!
