I remember that love grew
In the places where we planted good seeds
The places were light and goodness reigned
And warmth and kindness had their way

We believed love grew
Unhindered by selfish hands
And waited patiently to be reaped
From the fields where we labored
Side by side

And if we endured
we would see it
All around us
And eat of it our fill
Everyday


"I'll tell you how the sun rose
A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson

Beautifully and gently happy and sad, Aenea.  I remember believing that too . . .

Good to see you back again.
