Marthas Legacy
Floral loveliness greets chateau guests with gorgeous blossoms
Aroma of these plants bring nature’s best into the stone courtyard
Martha’s legacy has survived the continuum of time
Walter watches families collect their breakfast
There is happy laughter and wide smiles, this is a sacred place
He knows the guests can feel his angel, even if they cannot see her
He pretends to read his newspaper, while listening to conversations
Martha’s dream to run a bed and breakfast, in full fruition
Walter feels satisfied and sated as he watches the families.
Planning their day, studying guidebooks, and such
Martha, we did it, he whispers
She knows, the mountains assure him. She knows.
