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.
