Dwight And Joanne
We can only be grateful
For our brief stay upon earth—
The moon moves softly through the trees
As if it knew our worth.
He for she and she for he,
I with you have fished the sea,
And every tide upon the shore
Returned us gently evermore.
A boat makes all things well at night
When stars are kind and waters bright,
And magnolias in bloom descend
Like letters from a faithful friend.
The full moon lays her silver shade
On every vow that love has made;
Blue skies remembered after rain,
Tall trees that whisper each sweet name.
Broad green leaves in summer air,
The quiet grace of being there—
A full life, a good friend,
And roads that blossom without end.
For earth is brief and hearts are small,
Yet love outlives the rise and fall
Of darkened seas and passing years—
A lantern shining through the years.
