When we almost finished writing this poem, White Wolf got a phone call telling him he was now an UNCLE for the first time in his life. :) So I finished the poem, and posted it, also on his behalf


Congratulations with little Macy, Budgie <3

Evening gusts shall take away all my fear, The stars will shine and fill my eyes with cheer, The universe holds everything so dear But you my love... How much I want you here Lonely nights upon horizons I face, To hold you again in this sacred place I howl forlorn into the moonlit space Where once we lay in our loving embrace Weeping willows shall whistle in the glen, As I lay silent with paper and pen You left me, but I forgive you, again The tree my witness, return to me, then.... We grow our roots beneath this willow tree In sun and rain we will together be *** April 22, 2017 Copyright © Darren White and White Wolf

So beautiful and yet so sad. My heart wept like the willow while reading it. This is what I call REAL poetry. Anyone can read it and anyone can understand it. That's what I like. Love you two.

above ground, weeping willow. Deep in earth, strong roots ... still growing, traveling, to springs of living water. i will pray that God adores your spirit, resilience, faith in loving ... You a blessing to so many. Arise and be healed, in Jesus Christ. amen
